For two years I worked for the Cluster of Excellence Matters of Activity of the Humboldt University Berlin. This interdisciplinary group of researchers and creators from 40 disciplines that aims to create a new sustainable culture of materials. Exploring the intertwining of biology and technology, of mind and material and of nature and culture in a new way. As part of the PR team, my job was video production for science communication. I mainly produced digital content of the annual conferences for the Virtual Cluster Space in a greenscreen studio that I lead.
The Cluster also designed multiple exhibitions and organised workshops, talks as well as field trips which my team and I prepared, managed and documented.
