Migrants in Europe -Multimedia Competition organised by the European Commission
Challenge: Address migrant identity and contribution to European society for a Pan-European competition by the European Commission.
Approach: Migrants enter Europe as fingerprints in a database. Through their work and contributions, they carve out individual identities within their communities. The visual shows this transformation—from bureaucratic data points to valued professionals shaping European society.
Result: Finalist among 27 entries across Europe, winner from all German universities, and shortlisted for Student of the Year by Lürzer's Archive.
Attention Economy
Challenge: Visualize the concept of attention economy for editorial context—how human focus has become a systematically extracted resource in the digital age.
Approach: Multiple shovels mining intact brains represent continuous extraction without overt damage. The repetition emphasizes the normalized, systemic nature of attention harvesting across platforms and industries. The visual avoids specific technologies or villains, focusing instead on the structural phenomenon itself.
Result: A neutral observation of attention as commodity—raising questions without prescribing answers.
