My take on the issue is all about understanding how we reflect ourselves in the technology we are building: What image of human or even posthuman life is embodied in the machines that shape working and living environments? Every device incorporates not only an image of human life but also values and norms of efficiency and smoothness. Those values are rarely reflected upon because they remain cloaked behind the narrative of functionality. Functionality is never neutral. It shapes all relations and interactions amongst humans, technologies, animals and all the possible intertwinings.

In my work as advisor in technology, arts and media I aim at uncovering these hidden aspects of technology and their consequences for business cultures and new work environments. To date I have co-operated with the leading software developer SAP and innovation agencies (Key Values, Hamburg). The phenomenological dimension of embodied cognition is another important field. I have been consulting the coaching and personal training institute NEUN (Hamburg) on the philosophical concepts of body and mind, their historical development and contemporary neuroscientific framing.
