A shortcut-first countdown timer for streams, webinars, or any reverse time-keeping needs.
Welcome, You can contact me at email@heracl.es, or interact with my ephemeral musings on Mastodon. I don’t do commercial social media, but if you insist you can message me on LinkedIn. Most of the objects and texts I produce occupy this website, while fragments of code rest in GitHub or Gist. I work at Onassis Foundation in Athens, as the Digital & Innovation Coordinator. In my scarce spare time, I co-devise strategies towards digital literacy and accessible libraries through alphapivita.gr. Previously, I would tell stories and craft interfaces at citytales.eu. Ι occasionaly write words and develop tools about videogames on LegendaryPKMN.net, and lead R&D at DEBTRON.
I’m Heracles Papatheodorou, a design technologist, digital maker, project coordinator, and licensed architect engineer based in Athens, Greece. I work in the fields of cultural production, design, media arts, web development and architecture. My research interests encompass digital literacy, digital interfaces, and artistic practices.
