About the Creator of Edenauts

Martin Wieser – Artist, Philosopher, Education Game Designer, Computer Scientist, Lifelong Learner

Hailing from Salzburg, Austria, Martin Wieser is a multifaceted creator with a passion for blending art, science, and philosophy. Driven by an insatiable curiosity, Martin dedicates his life to exploring how we learn, think, and connect as human beings. His intellectual compass is guided by genetic epistemology and the developmental theory of knowledge, particularly the works of Jean Piaget and Joscha Bach. Martin’s fascination lies in understanding cognition not just as data processing, but as a deeply human, stage-wise journey.

As an education game designer, Martin is the mastermind behind Edenauts, a 21-day survival odyssey that challenges players to master the art of self-learning. Edenauts is more than a game—it’s a philosophical quest: When School Sucks… you need to become your own teacher by learning how to learn, not what to learn. Through this, he empowers players to reclaim agency over their education, fostering authentic growth from within.

Martin also founded Superpower Listening, a course crafted especially for introverts. It equips them with conversational strategies, mindset shifts, and relationship-building tools to foster genuine connections without draining their social energy.

With a computer scientist’s precision and a philosopher’s soul, Martin navigates multiple disciplines. His projects often intertwine critical social commentary, storytelling, gamification, and cutting-edge tech like Angular, Python, Neo4j, and Rive animations.

His role models—a constellation of thinkers, artists, and provocateurs—range from Socrates and Diogenes, to Hayao Miyazaki, Joscha Bach, Jean Piaget, and beyond. Each influence shapes his unique lens on the world, fostering a bottom-up thinking style, an appreciation for metaphor, and a deep reverence for the art of questioning.

Martin stands by honest communication, holding space for authenticity in his teaching. His students know they can trust his words—a foundation that allows them to drop masks and engage in real, transformative learning.

Above all, Martin Wieser is a computer scientist with a social conscience. He is on a mission to reimagine education, empower self-directed learners, and inspire others to embark on their own odyssey of wisdom.
