Christopher Frauenberger is interested in designing digital technologies with and for people within their diverse lifeworlds. His research takes inspiration from the social sciences, philosophy and design to explore alternative digital futures that are wanted, meaningful and sustainable. The work oscillates between practical applications in real world settings such as care or education and theoretical questions about the nature of our relationship with technologies such as artificial intelligence or robots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christopher Frauenberger explores how to design meaningful relationships between humans and digital technology. His work is highly interdisciplinary and has both, analytical and generative ambitions: it oscillates between practical applications in real world settings such as work, care or education, and theory that aims to conceptualise the nature of our relationship to technologies such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality or robotics. Rooted in computer science and inspired by methods and concepts from the social sciences and philosophy, his primary mode of scientific enquiry is design research, ranging from participatory approaches to speculative design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
