Pierre Depaz is a post-doctoral researcher across Media Studies and Digital Humanities at the University of Basel. His research focuses on how computational artifacts (software, programming languages and protocols) act as dynamic epistemic interfaces and agentic forces between humans and their social, ecological and psychological environments. With a background in political science and game design, he completed a PhD on the aesthetics of programming under the joint direction of Alexandre Gefen (Paris-3/CNRS) and Nick Montfort (MIT). He has lectured at New York University, City University of New York and Sciences Po Paris, and has held research positions at the Filmuniversität Babelsberg Konrad-Wolf and at the Hochschule für Gestaltung Karlsruhe. He holds ambivalent feelings about computers.
