About

Jessica Broscheit works in the field of human–computer interaction. Trained as a designer, she creates multisensory experiences to explore the relationship between human beings, technologies, and the 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. Her work addresses issues such as environmental awareness, augmented perception, and human transformation. She holds a PhD from the University of the West of Scotland and a Master‘s degree in Next Media from the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences. Currently, Broscheit works as a part-time researcher for the Creative Space for Technical Innovations (CSTI) and the Living Place lab at the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science of the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences. Her research interests include tangible and embodied interaction, participatory design, physical data representations, speculative and critical design.
