Are you the Abover we've been looking for? Our Malmö playground is looking for a Design x Technology Intern.

Do you combine design with technical aspects? Is your work hard to describe with existing disciplines and titles? Do you paint with code? Entangle bits and atoms? Wrestle the future into the present?

We are offering a Design x Technology internship at the Above Malmö Studio. We are looking for somebody who combines design/music/art with technology. What do we mean with 'technology'? That's up to you! May it be robotics, creative coding, fabrication, simulation, VFX, game development, generative art, machine learning, or anything you'd define as 'technology'. We are looking for people who thrive working in the intersections between different disciplines.
