Senior Lecturer at the Department of Design with an interest in practices that work to imagine, materialise and sustain forms of change. This has involved research on the intersections of politics and technology, with a specific focus on infrastructures of power and resistance.
Current research includes Regenerative Energy Communities, a 3-year project funded by the Swedish Energy Agency. The project explores how alternative paradigms and approaches to energy might emerge through creative and collective experimentation with energy prototypes in local regenerative farming communities.
Recent activities include:
> “Windternet: Designing grid-liberated servers for regenerative energy communities” (2024) paper for LIMITS 2024: Tenth Workshop on Computing within Limits.
> "Sol, vind och svampar" (2024) interview for Humpodd podcast.
> "Companion prototyping" (2024) entry for A Collection of Change.
> "Tending to 2030 m3: How to regenerate regeneration? How to unasphalt asphalt?" (2023) chapter for Plants by Numbers: Art, Computation, and Queer Feminist Technoscience.
> Energy Giveaway at the Humuspunk Library (2023) exhibition at the Awareness In Art gallery in Zurich, Switzerland. Curated and organised by our Regenerative Energy Communities research project.
> Groudings Conference (2022). Co-organiser.
