Biography
Research
For the Academic Year 2008/2009 I'm Visiting Assistant Professor at the Department of Digital+Media at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). Links to the classes I teach and their blogs are here.
PhD candidate, 2004-2008
Thesis title: Sound-based creative use of mobile technology: exploring the (often) playful approach to urban environment in popular culture and arts involving the mobile phone.
Supervisor: Dr. Michael Bull
Supervisor: Dr. Caroline Bassett
Some thoughts on sound, mobile media, art & culture on my blog http://mobilesound.wordpress.com/
Member of Action IC0601: Sonic Interaction Design (SID)
http://www.cost.esf.org/index.php?id=1088
I have been appointed as Management Committee Member for Germany and am Chair of the Working Group "Interactive Art and Music". The SID Action is funded by COST (European Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research) and runs 2007-2011.
Sonic Interaction Design is the exploitation of sound as one of the principal channels conveying information, meaning, and aesthetic/emotional qualities in interactive contexts. The Action pro–actively contributes to the creation and consolidation of new design theories, tools, and practices in this innovative and interdisciplinary domain. While being advanced through a few sparse projects, this ¿eld relies on the COST – SID Action to strengthen the links between scientists, artists, and designers in the European Research Area. The COST – SID platform stands on four legs: (i) perception, cognition, and emotion; (ii) design; (iii) interactive art; (iv) information display and exploration. These are each supported by the research and development of the requisite new interactive technologies. Due to the breadth of its application spectrum, the COST – SID Action has the potential of affecting everyday life through physical and virtual interactive objects, as today there is the possibility to design and actively control their acoustic response so that it conveys an intended aesthetic, informational, or emotional content.
Member of the Centre for Material Digital Culture
The centre http://www.sussex.ac.uk/rcmdc/ aims to re-connect media studies - and film studies - with forms of thinking that have traditionally been marginal to the discipline, but which have been more centrally concerned with thinking through early techno-culture: in particular medium theory, cultural geography, and science and technology studies (STS). The centre would also like to critically engage with developing and established forms of technocultural theory.
Member of the Steering Committee of the International Workshop on Mobile Music Technology

Research
Frauke is interested in the role of sound in the areas of interactive art, locative media and mobile technology. She is researching the increasing number of artist experimenting with mobile phones as means of audience participation in their sound/music-focussed projects. Frauke is actively involved with the rapidly growing field of mobile music and is on the steering committee of the International Workshop of Mobile Music Technology (http://www.mobilemusicworkshop.org/). Currently she is completing her PhD at the Department of Media and Film Studies, supervised by Michael Bull and Caroline Bassett. Her research is funded by the German Academic Research Exchange Council (DAAD).Frauke has presented her research at various international conferences and published her research both in English and German. Recently she presented a paper on "Sound Art on the Move" at the SoundAsArt Conference in Aberdeen and published the conference paper "Mobile Music Technology: Report on Emerging Community" (with Layla Gaye, Lars Erik Holmquist and Atau Tanaka), presented at the 2006 Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME-06) at the Ircam in Paris. Her Master's thesis was awarded a research prize on Digital Media and published as "Handymusik. Klangkunst und 'mobile devices' " in Germany in 2004.
