Specialist Art Mediation
Aargauer Kunsthaus Aarau
Cultural Heritage
After I graduated in English Literature and Linguistics, Art History and Philosophy at the University of Zurich, I worked for five years as scientific editor at Verlag Sauerländer in Aarau. After almost twenty years with a major Swiss bank where I led technology projects and in my last years worked as an innovation specialist, I joined the Aargauer Kunsthaus as an art mediation specialist, responsible for digitalization and inclusion. In addition, I work part-time with freisicht, a Swiss start-up specialized in AR and VR for cultural institutions. I am a multimedia producer (SAE Zurich), I have a bachelor of arts in multimedia arts (SAE/University of Middlesex) and I was trained as a specialist in cultural mediation at FHNW in Brugg (Kuverum). My main technical focus is AR. I have already done several projects in different museums since 2013.
