Shintaro Miyazaki, male, born 1980 in Charlottenburg, West Berlin to a Japanese classical percussionist couple and raised in Basel, Switzerland. He received his lic. phil. (MA) in Media Theory, Musicology and Philosophy from the University of Basel in spring 2007, including an ERASMUS year at Humboldt-Universitaet zu Berlin (2004/05), and earned his Dr. phil. in Media Theory (Medienwissenschaft) summa cum laude at HU Berlin in February 2012 under Wolfgang Ernst. His dissertation was published as the monograph "Algorhythmisiert" (Kadmos, 2013), in which he coined the term "Algorhythmics" to study the intersection of musical rhythm, mathematical algorithms and digital signal processing. After a postdoctoral fellowship at the Seminar for Media Studies at the University of Basel (2013), he was Senior Researcher at the FHNW Academy of Art and Design (2014 - 2021) and Project Curator of the Critical Media Lab at the Institute of Experimental Design and Media Cultures (IXDM) (2017 - 2020). Since October 2020 he has been Junior Professor (tenure track) for Digital Media and Computation at Humboldt-Universitaet zu Berlin. His books include "Digitalitaet tanzen! Ueber Commoning & Computing" (transcript, 2022), "Counter-Dancing Digitality: On Commoning and Computation" (meson press, 2023, open access) and "Endosymbiotische Komputation" (Campus, 2026). Working with media-archaeological methods on digital media and computation, he advocates "counter-dancing digitality", alternative computation and commoning, earning praise from media scholars such as Jussi Parikka.
