Timothée Ingen-Housz is professor for “conception and dramaturgy with audiovisual media” (!) at the University of the Arts Berlin, and teaches in the curriculum communication in social and economic contexts . He is currently researching scenario co-creation methods in the context of socio-ecological urban transformations. In this context, he is collaborating with researchers from Technische Universität Berlin, Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt University, Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin, PIK (Potsdam) and many others.
The current research focus is the development of workshops and co-creative contexts interfacing multiple stakeholder perspectives to co-create transformation scenarios, “co-produce knowledge” and possibly reframe ambient narratives. These involve the use of design and artistic research methods challenging the repetition of established narratives.
Trained as a multimedia artist, author and visual language designer, Timothée Ingen-Housz´s practice as educator and researcher is concerned with the exploration, communication and productive awareness of complexity. His journey started at Paris´s Ensad, where he graduated with the experimental logographic system “Elephant’s Memory”, a linguistic toy allowing words and norms to be playfully negotiated across existing languages and cultures.
He then founded a creative studio for “screen, stage and page”, authoring formats for science communication, game design, art exhibitions, film and theater while pursuing his own research in the field of visual communication, screenwriting and art. Starting to teach while still a student, he held lectures and workshops at Ensad (Paris) , Harvard film faculty, Goldsmiths University of London, Academy of Media Arts Cologne, Cologne international school of design, Bauhaus University, and finally the UdK Berlin, where he now teaches “conception and dramaturgy”.
Working at the crossroads between science, design and the humanities since decades, Ingen-Housz ´s own work been shown internationally, most recently in the traveling exhibition “the society of signs" (2022).
