Maja-Lee Voigt
Vita
Maja-Lee Voigt is an urban designer, research associate at the project "Automating the Logistical City" (since 2021), and co-founder of the interdisciplinary city research collective Akteurinnen für urbanen Ungehorsam in Hamburg. Assisted by a methodological toolbox of ethnographic and critical feminist thinking, her work focuses on everyday practices of resistance through and embodiment of invisible digital infrastructures and urban gig work. After deep diving into the realms of (cyber-)feminist hackspaces in the context of her master thesis "Cyber_Feminist_City - City-Making Practices between Artificial Intelligence, Algorithms, and Asphalt" she is presently thinking through the automation of logistical cities, tackling questions about algorithmic architectures of oppression, cities in crisis, and hacking spaces towards more just urban futures.
