Presentation

My current research investigates the conceptual as well as technological implications of ‘search’ as a researcher, ranging from the ‘personalisation’ of mainstream search engines to developing aesthetic, alternative methods for searching the internet. My past interests merge artistic and curatorial practice with digital economies in regard to online remuneration along with exploring ‘hidden economies’ within manifold spaces and the public sphere.

Primary research areas

• search
• digital cultures
• paid usership
