DANIELA REIMANN, PhD, is a researcher and media art educator from a visual arts and media education background exploring the overlap between arts, design, computer science and media technology at university and school level. Her work bridges the gap between scientific and artistic research and learning cultures in project based scenarios bringing together theory and practice. She works experimentally across the curricula in between disciplines and media. She explores the impact of digital media technologies and scientific innovation in relation to our physical and Mixed Reality interaction spaces. Her collaborators have included computer scientists, educators, artists, researchers, curators, media experts, designers, school teachers and policy makers. In 2007 she was appointed International LEF Representative Germany of the Leonardo Education Forum, a working group of Leonardo – The International Society for the Arts, Sciences and Technology (Leonardo/ISAST).

I hold an M.A. in Visual Arts, Art Education and Literature. From 2007-09 is was Assistant Professor for Media Pedagogy in Freiburg. My PhD- thesis looked at the integration of arts and computer science in education through Mixed Reality learning spaces with children and adolescents. It was based on the model-project "Theory and Practice of Integrated Arts, Design and Computer Science in Education" (ArtDeCom) and published 2006 in Oberhausen (s. http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/3898962490/303-7489764-6773832).
