Andreas Ingerl

Andreas Ingerl serves as a University Lecturer within the Department of Design and Culture at HTW Berlin - University of Applied Sciences, primarily affiliated with the Communication Design program. He holds key administrative roles including Department Council member, Deputy Chair of the Selection Committee, Chair of the Examination Board, and BAföG Representative, while managing the Physical and Ubiquitous Computing laboratory from his office at Wilhelminenhof Campus WH Building A, 419.

His research centers on the intersection of technology and artistic expression, specializing in audiovisual media, new media design, and applied media art. He actively explores creative computing methodologies and ubiquitous computing applications to transform physical environments into interactive experiences, with strong emphasis on virtual reality systems, sensory design, and AI integration for immersive media installations that challenge conventional perception and interaction paradigms.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals a cohesive trajectory toward experimental media forms and intelligent systems, exemplified by projects like CINEMIRACLE (public-space VR), Lucid Dream (consciousness exploration), and CFI – Craving Future Intelligence (AI-driven art). These works collectively demonstrate his commitment to bridging technical innovation with critical artistic inquiry, particularly in addressing societal implications of emerging media technologies and redefining educational frameworks through digital experimentation.

As Laboratory Manager for Physical and Ubiquitous Computing, Ingerl directs a multidisciplinary research environment focused on developing novel interfaces for immersive storytelling and sensor network integration in urban contexts. The lab functions as a nexus for the Creative Computing research cluster, facilitating collaborations between design, art, and engineering disciplines to pioneer tangible media interactions that dissolve boundaries between digital and physical realms.
