Research / Book Project:

DIGITAL CONCEPT AND CULTURAL PRODUCTION in the 21st Century

• What role does/can/should digital concept design play in the production of culture in the 21st Century?
• I examine this with reference to the development of the Humboldt Forum in Berlin from 2015 to 2020
• A case study of the digital concept design for Europe’s largest cultural heritage undertaking in a generation – set in its wider context of projects and actors and considered at a moment of tremendous natural and cultural upheaval worldwide

The upcoming Seminar “Digital Concept and Cultural Production” at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Institut für Kulturwissenschaft – Starting April 15 2021 – invites students to engage in a field of critical inquiry around core concepts and current examples
