Spiral of Self-Enabling Action

Martin Pleiß, born in 1987, works at the intersection of phenomenological research and digital projects in academia and art. The philosopher and media scholar completed his dissertation at the RITMO Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Rhythm, Time and Motion at the University of Oslo, investigating novelty in aesthetic virtual reality. He holds a Master’s degree in European Media Studies from Universität Potsdam and studied philosophy, arts and media at Universität Hildesheim. He has exhibited and collaborated on immersive and VR artworks as both an artist and a researcher, and has worked on sensor-based art and body-swap experiments in virtual environments. His research focuses on perception, especially sense-making, as well as on media systems and contemporary cultural theories—with particular interest in artistic research and the politics of aesthetics.
