I am interested in how I as a designer can find answers to the current state of the world we live in. A world that is highly determined by New Media. The last few years, I have focussed my research on Web 2.0. To be more precise I am interested in the way users of Web 2.0 act in popular structures, such as Wikipedia and Facebook. In my theoretical work, I try to find out how the web effects our life and how we express our feelings. Recurring questions and topics are if the Web mirrors our own expectations or if it is a preexisting set of technologies that we simply follow and adapt, what truth and lie means in the digital world and the question of identity/authenticity. Furthermore I am interested in how we organize knowledge on the web. How can we exchange knowledge and is Wikipedia the best possibility to do so?

In my practical work I try to clarify my research. To find visual answers to the questions I have. I am looking for a visual possibility to make my position clear. So far, I always wanted to show my research and not write about it.
