Short Biography:
As a hybrid designer and researcher, I am trained as a product design engineer (ELISAVA, Barcelona; Mondragon Unibertsitatea), media designer (HEAD-Genève) and, A am also part of the biohacking community (Hackuarium, Lausanne; Hackteria, Zurich; Wetlab HANGAR, Barcelona; Biopunk. kitchen, Berlin).
Currently based in Berlin, I work part-time at my studio Hybridoa.org where I also develop projects and public workshops that focus on the production of new knowledge through bio-practices of media, open-source philosophy and speculative design methodology. Influenced by ethno-fiction, feminist theory and speculative design methodology, I focus on intimate interdependencies between humans and more-than-human people, while critically engaging with technology in order to create alternative “near futures”.
I nourish (from) and believe (in) people, designers/artists/hackers collaborating in alternative spaces, having the power to innovate and subvert the Anthropocene and the dominating role of traditional science and technology.
