Short presentation
During my PhD in MCS, I research the ethical limits and potentials of biometric AI through biohacking as an existential media practice. I am part of the project “BioMe: Existential Challenges and Ethical Imperatives of Biometric AI in Everyday Lifeworlds” funded by WASP-HS. In my dissertation project “Twists of the Smart Body. Biohacking as existential practice” I trace how biohackers twist bodily mediation to intervene more response-able AI futures, based on a collaborative design anthropology.
