Alexander Kohlhofer’s Summary
As a designer, I try to combine artistic sensibility with a passion for, and expertise in, contemporary technologies.
I have worked with the British Council, The British High Commission, the Tate Gallery, the Imperial War Museum, the Arts Council, the Science Museum Lodon, Amnesty International, Nesta (National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts), and many others.
I have been invited to present at international venues, facilitated workshops around the world and have lived and worked in the US, UK, Germany and Austria. Until 2008 I was creative director of BAFTA winners Soda Creative in London, world renowned for Soda Constructor. I am also a founding member and director of Munich based Schoene Neue Kinder in Germany.
My fascination and expertise in social software manifests itself in my own start-ups: the award winning online multiplayer-strategy game Weewar, and the agile team ware No Kahuna.
