In my doctoral thesis I'm studying the ontology of digital waste. Digital waste is something that we encounter in digital enviroments in forms of spam, AI slop and viruses – but also through the concepts of uselessness, disorder and excess. My multidisciplinary research combines media studies, social scientific waste studies and science- and technology studies. As an researcher I'm interested how the living with digital waste is entwined into mundane digital practices but also to wider questions of sustainability in a planetary level.
