Moritz Greiner-Petter

Junior Researcher / Communications

Moritz Greiner-Petter is designer and researcher at the Critical Media Lab.

In his research, he is investigating design paradigms, materialities and epistemologies of digital interfaces and their role in shaping processes of thinking, collaboration and design. His practice often revolves around the generative and infrastructuring effects of media formats, explored through experimental prototypes, interfaces, tools, websites and publishing formats.

Among other things at CML, Moritz is responsible for designing and facilitating the external communications and collaborative infrastructures of the lab. You can also contact him for any inquiries regarding this website.

Facial features and proportions may appear overly idealised, partially hallucinated and adjusted to aesthetic standards inferred from the software’s training data.
