Background

About Judith Glaser

I am a trained goldsmith with professional experience in Germany and abroad. As part of an economic development program of the Gesellschaft für internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), I was involved in the training of Nepalese goldsmiths, a.o. Studying product design at the Berlin Weißensee School of Art and Design as well as Lund University (Sweden), I completed my master’s degree with a focus on interaction design. After freelancing activities in research and industry, I have been working for Studio NAND from 2018 to 2023. Studio NAND is a Berlin-based design studio specializing in data-driven user interfaces and interactive technologies. She has been involved in the conception, design and implementation of a wide range of projects in collaboration with start-ups, cultural institutions along with large corporations (including Deutsche Bahn, the British Museum or the Future Center Europe). My professional design activities as well as my years of teaching the interdisciplinary project format Coding IxD led to my research interest in skills and knowledge constellations at the intersection of design and computer science. This interest is also reflected in focussing the field of the neo-analogue, a synthesis of digital (code) and analogue (material) interaction. Since 2021, I have been an Associated Investigator in the research project Cutting at the Cluster of Excellence at Humboldt University Berlin (Matters of Activity). While holding a visiting professor position in the product design department at the Kunsthochschule Berlin Weißensee I have been appointed to the Faculty of Design Würzburg in the summer semester of 2023.
