Hi, I am Friedrich,
and my passion lies in the interdisciplinary.
I design games and interactive art, and
conduct research in human-centered design.
My artistic practice nurtures my research on the
human factors of game interaction, while my research
is equally fruitful for my human-centered design approach.
In my current ︎PhD project, I focus on older players.
I explore how immersive, enriching, and joyful forms
of play can be enabled by reducing barriers to digital
interaction.
I firmly believe in the importance of constant exchange
between the artistic and scientific disciplines to form
a holistic design approach for one of the most
fundamental cultural activities: play.
This includes opening both the design process and
the resulting products to as many people as possible.
I love spreading the word through teaching and outreach
to convey a sense of responsibility to future design talents.
Do you want to discuss future projects?
