Randi Heinrichs is currently working on her dissertation about a conception of algorithmic anonymity at Leuphana University Lüneburg, Germany, where she is affiliated with the Digital Cultures Research Lab. She studied Cultural Sciences at Leuphana from 2007 to 2015 and Sociology, Modern and Contemporary Art and Journalism at the ARCIS University in Santiago de Chile. She received her M.A. in Culture, Arts and Media from the Leuphana with a thesis titled Whistleblowing and the dangerous Game of Truth. Her doctoral research project (Re)Programming Regimes of Anonymity in Digital Culture examines the negotiations of anonymity at the intersections of technology, practices and regulations. Integrated into the project consortium "Reconfiguring Anonymity. Contemporary forms of Reciprocity, identifiability and accountability in transformation," the project is supplemented through collaborative forms of knowledge production with legal professionals and a group of affiliated media artists working on the problematization of anonymity regimes.
