The Design Research Lab is a laboratory for experimental design and research reflecting on the digital society. Through playful interventions, critical making and collaborative reasoning we investigate possible futures. As a platform and network, we are deeply involved with the requirements and policies needed for an inclusive and sustainable development of the digital society from a design perspective.
We are an interdisciplinary team of designers, researchers, tech-enthusiasts and critical thinkers from Berlin University of the Arts, German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), Weizenbaum Institute for the Networked Society, as well as Einsteincenter Digital Future (ECDF).
Marc is a spanish guy from Barcelona, where he has been studying Telecommunication engineering for 5 years. He is carrying out his final thesis in Berlin in order to finish his studies: implementing a new protocol and make it work in Bowl (T-Labs). So far, he has been working on different domains of Telecommunication (Telephony, networking, etc) and is now part of the Interwoven Technology project on developing experimental user interfaces. His task in the project is to program applications on Android which can communicate with an external interface using a sewable microcontroller.
