This is the personal website of Marcus Burkhardt. During the winter term 2021/22 and the summer term 2022 I substitute the chair for Digital Media and Methods (Vertretung der Professur) at the University of Siegen. My academic background is in media studies, philosophy and computer science. In my research I focus on the history and theory of digital media, especially the logi(sti)cs of database technologies, big data, and algorithmic environments as well as on media of knowledge production and dissemination, media philosophy and media theory. Below you can find information on my current and past work. You can contact me via email or on Twitter.
