Verena Ziegler joined the Zurich University of Arts in Switzerland, Depart- ment of Interaction Design in 2013, after studying Architecture (Technical Uni- versity of Stuttgart/G), Master of Arts in Textile Design, (University of Applied Sciences Reutlingen/G), Master of Design (Auckland University of Technology/ NZ) and her currently being completed PhD thesis at Linz University of Arts and Design in Austria. She conducts research and teaches in the area of embodied interaction- and computational design, with an emphasis on new materialism and post-humanist theory. Her recent research includes applications of topology based algorithms for bespoke sewing patterns, that put industrialised standardi- sations and genderifications in question. She also investigates the development of an alternative global/local “Crafting 4.0” business model to reduce waste pol- lution through mass customisation and sustainable distribution supply chains. In Verena`s general research and various teaching formats, she explores utopianism futures through practical prototyping and building of experimental machines and robots, to explore post-digital, sensory and embodied engagements with technologies.
