Joscha studied Design, Art and Media in the Interface Design Pathway at Merz Akademie Stuttgart. His interest in hypervideo started within a research project called “remediate”, where the goal was to examine the historical changes that film and television are experiencing in combination with new media. Before actually developing the “Open Hypervideo” idea, he experimented several semesters with different approaches of annotated film as interface for document access. He is currently a research assistant at Merz Akademie Stuttgart and Founder at filmicweb.
