lyla health app

In 2019 a couple of friends and I founded a small company to build and operate a health app. Lyla calls APIs to gather weather and UV-data according to a users’s location and combines them with their input of skin type and sun protection factor. Together with our elaborate, self-designed algorithm, the app calculated the individual time-to-burn of the user. Further, one can record sun burns, give feedback in case of a sunburn and consume information around sun protection. Lyla has thousands of downloads and monthly users during the peak summer season and is available for free on Google Play and Apple App Store.

The ChAIr Project: Four Classics

The Chair Project is a series of four AI-designed, human-manufactured chairs. The piece reverses the common roles of human and machine in the design process and industrial production, using machine learning as to stimulate to human imagination rather than for automation. Omitting the human body, the technology dreams up entirely new forms of classic seating furniture. The resulting chairs, manufactured by human hands, materialize contradictions of form and automation into an irony of AI solutionism.
