We
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).

Alumni
Sarah Schipper, born in 1980 in North Rhine-Westphalia, has been studying Design at the Köln International School of Design since 2007 . Before her studies, she completed an apprenticeship in photography and worked in this profession. Her pre-diploma in the field of gender and design dealt with the gender-orientation of equestrianism, in particular with the phenomenon of pre-pubescent girls’ love of horses and its impact on design. To work on that topic, she looked for a psychological explanation for this phenomenon, worked out questionnaires for salespeople and interviewed children of an appropriate age.
