Marian Rupp

Marian Rupp is a researcher at the Offenbach University of Art and Design, affiliated with the School of Art and Department of Art. Their work engages transmedia and transdisciplinary experimentation to address the urgency of new representational methodologies.

• Key theoretical frameworks include New Materialism, Actor-Network Theory, and Deleuze/Guattari studies
• Research focuses on material-semiotic entanglements, speculative fabulation, and diffractive patterning

This research connects geopolitical questions to representational practices, emphasizing ideological visualization strategies. The work draws from Lyotard's concept of the figural, Karen Barad's diffraction theory, and Haraway's speculative fabulation to create eventful interference patterns that challenge traditional bifurcations between form/content and design/text.
