Andrea Kelemen is a researcher interested in investigating technology, power and metaphysics from the perspective of folds: the folding of the symbolic into the digital, the virtual into the actual and the cognitive into the material.

Since acquiring her MA in Philology, Andrea completed a number of post-graduate courses in the fields of anthropology, sociology, design, computer science, and philosophy, and has 8 years of experience working in industry as a product researcher.

Andrea’s research practice is strongly grounded in data ethics and the open science movement and she is the founding researcher of Reflexive Codes, an AI product research studio.

Reflexive Codes uses design methods, ethnomethodology, and grounded theory to delineate bounded contexts for exploration, constructing ideal end-states that can be reached iteratively through the triad of speculation, critique, and empirical experimentation..
