Inga Zimprich (1979, Viersen, D) studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Amsterdam (1999-2003), is currently fine arts researcher at the Jan Van Eyck Academie, NL (2005 -), and curated for the project space Public Space With A Roof, Amsterdam (2004 / 2005). Departing from socially engaged art-practices she is interested in the potential of opening “speculative spaces” through artistic thinking, experiencing the internet once again as a valuable tool to re-negotiate contexts and relations, to speculate about the making of and distribution of knowledge, touching upon concepts such as “university”, “access”, “in-/exclusion” and the making of a “public sphere”.
She conducts the Thinktank 0.1 – A groupware research and development project since 2005 which questions values, methods and principles developed in self-organized contexts and within socially engaged practices and their possible transfer into online environments. She contributed to the conception of “Ubiscribe”, a collaborative editorial wiki, both a publication and working environment in its own right, as well as at the service of the production of an ongoing series of Ubiscribe print-on-demand and otherly formated-to-the-occasion publications.
