Jacqueline Hen is an Artist and Spatial Designer working on largescale performative installations. She studied Visual Communication, Spatial- and Experience design at the University of the Arts Berlin and Art Center College of Design Pasadena. Her work investigates possibilities of social transformation through communication and participation in the intersection of physical and virtual habitats.

In 2019 her work “Ligh High” was awarded with the International Light Art Award. In the same year, she was appointed “Meisterschülerin” at the University of the Arts Berlin. Since 2017 she is teaching Design as an academic-artistic-assistant at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne (KHM). At KHM she is focusing on the development of a contemporary „Grundlehre der Gestaltung“ (Design Basics), which relates to all areas of analog, digital, 2d- and 3d Design techniques, addressing universal principles like symmetry, rhythm, interaction. It questions the responsibility, opportunities, and limitations of Design as a discipline and its transformation from a historical but also contemporary sight. (How design changes the present & the present forms the design).

She worked as a research assistant at Fraunhofer Center for Responsible Research and Innovation Berlin (2014-2016) concerned with Technology Transfer Research, Process Design, Transformative Methods and the development of interactive holographic interfaces.
