Karsten (aka Karsten Dietrich) took part in the very beginning of TEDxMagdeburg when the idea arose for the first time ever in a meeting of the Kulturkollektiv. Since then, he is taking care of the “child” while being responsible for all matters relating to our internet presence. Despite TEDxMagdeburg and the Kulturkollektiv in Stadtfeld, you can also see him on the stage of Magdeburg’s improv theater. Karsten has studied Computational Visualistics at the OvGU and has been working freelance as a web programmer since then.
