ABOUT ME

I am interested in the history and politics of digital technologies and my research is located at the intersection of media studies, social anthropology, and science and technology studies.

Since October 2024, I work as a Research Fellow at the European Centre for Algorithmic Transparency (ECAT) where I primarily contribute with scientific expertise to the European Commission’s work on the EU AI Act. I am also an Affiliated Researcher at the Department of Arts and Cultural Sciences / Digital Cultures at Lund University.

I am a collaborator on the research project Evaluating GenAI Evaluations: Epistemics, Stakeholders, Technical Infrastructure and Policy which is funded and hosted by the Weizenbaum Institute in Berlin. I am also leading the project Filtering as Directing, Directing as Filtering together with Maximilian Hanisch with support from Prohelvetia Swiss Arts Council. This project sets out to interrogate the filtering of AI chatbot outputs through the lens of theatre directing and the rehearsal of stage performances. In reverse, it also interrogates theatre directing through the lens of generative AI filters.

Prior to joining ECAT, I was teaching and conducting research at the Seminar für Medienwissenschaft at Basel University in Switzerland. I defended my dissertation in 2019 at the Department of Culture and Media Studies at Umeå University, Sweden.
