We combine the achievements of the humanities and social sciences with reflection on technology with a view to developing multi-level approaches to computational technology and its industrial applications in the spirit of critical science.
The research traditions we follow include:
- philosophy of technology, social philosophy, philosophical anthropology, Kritsche Theorie, with emphasis on political ecology and ecology of technology in digital environments;
- cultural and media studies, art-based research, digital humanities, critical robotics, with emphasis on cultural codes, emotional and aesthetic alike, in technoculture.
Although we are focused on conducting advanced theoretical work, we also conduct experimental research and collaborate with designers, engineers, artists and communities. We focus on combining theory with practice, science with art and activism. We prefer realism to techno-utopia and catastrophic visions of the future.
