About

Jessica Broscheit creates multisensory experiences to explore the relationship between human beings and their changing environment. Her clear sense for artistic as much as functional design makes for an advanced visual rhetoric that fabricates interactive artifacts linking both the material and the cognitive dimension. Broscheit’s work addresses issues such as ambient awareness, augmented perception, and human transformation. Currently, Broscheit works as a researcher for the FTZ SMSY at the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science of the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences. Her research interests include tangible and embodied interaction, physical data representations, speculative and critical design.
