Docent – Onderzoeker<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ir. Anne Marleen Olthof is PhD-onderzoeker Human Enhancement for Health & Well-being aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam en de Universiteit Antwerpen. Haar onderzoek richt zich op hoe digitaal-fysieke producten het menselijk lichaam kunnen versterken om de kwaliteit van leven te verbeteren voor mensen met een progressieve of permanente handicap. Ge\u00efnspireerd door haar eigen ervaringen met ondersteunende technologie tijdens haar jeugd, studeerde zij Industrial Design Engineering aan de TU Delft en ontwikkelde een passie voor mens-machine interactie. Naast haar onderzoek doceert Anne Marleen Immersive Design XR aan de Hogeschool van Amsterdam, waar ze medeoprichter is van het XR-lab. Ze heeft meer dan tien jaar ervaring als designdocent en is gastdocent in Mixed Reality en eXtended Reality in Oostenrijk en Belgi\u00eb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our field study, we have explored developmental paths of scientific and artistic inquiry towards constructing embodied knowledge, and have employed per formative techniques to examine affective, temporal, and somatic qualities in human-computer relationships. As a follow-up to our field study, we propose an Open Rehearsal framework that integrates (1) the preparation of design tools and instruments, (2) the enactment of per formative techniques at the intersection of artistic-scientific inquiry, and (3) the development of notation methods that attract, respond, and release compositional or per formative activity. Through a dynamic interplay of human intentionality, algorithmic responsiveness, and material agency, we investigate how embodied knowledge can be produced and mediated through Attuned Design Practice. We conclude by outlining our future research to produce alternative ways of understanding the body in human-computer relationships.},
