Curriculum Vitae
Inga von Staden first encountered information architecture in the Genetics lab
of the Hebrew University, Israel where she did her BS of Agriculture. Hacking
the genetic code on an Apple Lisa is the kind of unforgettable experience, she
has been looking for in her work ever since.
Back in Germany, Inga von Staden ventured into the media landscape in the hope
of finding more unexplored terrain to cross. Since 1987 she has been working as:
- author and producer for television
- script editor and producer for film and theatre
- project manager for events and exhibitions
- creative producer for
computer games
media for marketing
internet applications
- lecturer on new media
concept and design
- new media consultant
She was very lucky to discover many continents not yet mapped, dramatic codes
waiting to be cracked and wonderful people interested in doing the same thing.
They have been invited to lecture at the academy of converging media.
