GRAPHIC / SOCIAL DESIGN & DESIGN RESEARCH

ABOUT

Michel Hohendanner is Research Associate at the Munich Center for Digital Sciences and AI (MUCDAI) of the Munich University of Applied Sciences and Doctoral Candidate at the Chair of Cyber Trust with Prof. Jens Grossklags at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). In 2022, Michel was visiting Prof. Hirotaka Osawa’s Hai Lab at KEIO University, Tokyo, for two months for a Design Futuring project on the Metaverse. In 2020, he was a visiting researcher at the Kyoto Design Lab at the Kyoto Insititute of Technology for five months, doing research on design methods for promoting deliberative citizen dialogues under the supervision of Prof. Daijiro Mizuno.

His research focuses on the social impact of new emerging technologies like (generative) AI and social aspects of immersive technologies. His investigations are driven and informed by (speculative) design as method of inquiry, digital ethics, and human-computer interaction. As technology changes the social fabric of today’s societies, he puts a particular focus on participatory methods and citizen centric perspectives.
