Exploring how emerging technologies can enhance interdisciplinary collaboration
As a researcher I am working at the intersection of artistic research, science and technology studies (STS), and interdisciplinary collaboration, with a particular focus on art–science practices in the context of socio-environmental challenges. My work develops and analyses equitable models of collaboration between artists and scientists, moving beyond instrumental or communication-based roles toward co-creative, epistemically integrated forms of knowledge production.
I specialise in examining and facilitating interactions between distinct epistemic cultures, drawing on frameworks such as communities of practice, trading zones, and boundary objects to understand how knowledge is negotiated across disciplines. My methodological approach combines qualitative inquiry, participatory and practice-based methods, and artistic experimentation, often applied within marine and sustainability research contexts, particularly in relation to the Baltic Sea.
Through both empirical research and artistic practice, I contribute to advancing theoretical and methodological approaches to interdisciplinary research. I am particularly interested in non-binary, reflexive, and process-oriented collaboration, as well as in developing evaluation tools and frameworks that assess the impact, reciprocity, and quality of art–science partnerships.
