Welcome

Hello. My name is Michael Hohl. I'm a designer and researcher working with digital media. I like making things, thinking about things, how we do them and what they mean to us. Currently I am exploring telematic technologies, trying to understand how technology changes us, while we think we are doing something with technology. My work is about consciousness, perception and experiences of presence and connectedness among physically remote people connecting via the web.
In February 02007 I completed an interdisciplinary, practice-based Ph.D. between fine art and computer sciences at Sheffield Hallam University. My thesis was titled: "This is not here: Connectedness, Remote Experience and Immersive Telematic Art."

I began with a rather traditional apprenticeship as a graphic-designer in the town of Ulm, Germany; Graduated in 02000 with an Diploma (MA) in Digital Media Design from the University of the Arts, Berlin. I have been a tutor in the digital media class for several years and also spent some time at the "Köln International School of Design" KISD in Cologne.

Between 1994 and 2002 I worked as a conceptionist and designer in digital media at different companies in Berlin (Pixelpark, ArtCom, cityscope, Im Stall, among others). In 2002 I relocated to the UK (after having lived for almost 10 years in Berlin). Between Autumn 02007 and Summer 02009 I was a research fellow at the University of Hertfordshire in Hatfield. Currently I am a research fellow at the University of Huddersfield at the School of Art, Design and Architecture.
