Get to know our Fellows: Daniela Wentz

Get to know our current fellows and gain an impression of their research. In a new series of short videos, we asked them to introduce themselves, talk about their work at c:o/re and the research questions that fascinate them.

In this video, Daniela Wentz, a media scholar with a focus on media history, explores the history of artificial emotional intelligence through technologies developed for autism diagnosis and therapy. She examines how affective computing and social robotics draw on behavioral science and gamification, and re-narrates the role of autistic individuals as active agents within these experimental systems and their evolving technological histories.
