About Me

I´m living in Berlin in a collective and social living house-project with round about 30 other people (aged between three and 53 years).
I just started writing my PhD-Thesis, which deals with issues of digital technologies and its relations to society especially questions of labor in capitalist economy. From time to time I write articles about books, political issues, movements, protests and police.
Besides reading and writing on my desk, I´m very into popular culture especially music. I love 90s hip hop and lots of 80s new wave stuff. Of course I´m interested in current releases, but always come back to the classics. Occasionally I spin some records as a DJ.
When it comes to sports I do yoga (without any esoteric), boulder a little or try to land some tricks on my skateboard.
