In 2008, his master's thesis was awarded the ZKM Fördergesellschaft prize. In 2009 he received his doctorate with a thesis on politically engaged theater and music video works and in 2013 with a study on the history of culture and designthe pregnancy habilitation. This was also the first teaching qualification awarded by the HfG in its history. From 2010 to 2013 he received a research grant from the Gerda Henkel Foundation . After an academic work, he took over the representation of the chair for art history and media theory from 2014 to 2018 and in 2016 the acting head of the theory department at the HfG. At the same time, he was teaching at universities and art colleges in Vienna , Tübingen , Berlin , Salzburg and Munich , among others . Since 2018 he has been in charge of a sub-project in the joint research project “Contemporary Aesthetics”, which is supported by the Volkswagen Foundation.

In 2018, Hornuff was offered a professorship at the University of Kassel, where he has been a professor for the field of theory and practice of design since 2019 .

In his research he deals with the social, political and cultural dimensions of design. He integrates phenomena from art, pop and media culture as well as the expanded field of design history.

In addition to scientific publications, Hornuff publishes debates and essays in DIE ZEIT , ZEIT ONLINE , Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung , Brand eins , Deutschlandfunk , Deutschlandfunk Kultur , SWR 2 and KUNSTZEITUNG, among others .

Controversy

Hornuff's media contributions led to considerable hostility in some cases, in particular from representatives of right-wing populist groups. In a 2016 radio commentary, Hornuff interpreted “gender bashing” as a “compulsory exercise for all right-wing populists” and saw the “general mockery of gender research as an attack on the essence of science as a whole”. As a result, replies on right-wing platforms and in xenophobic networks focused on personal aspects and called on Hornuff to publicly exchange blows. In 2017, the writer and publicist Akif Pirinçci commented on an essay by Hornuff as “appel-like smear” and “the only viscous socio-do-gooder porridge”, which primarily serves to “raise citizens [...] of this state as right-wing radicals and Nazis, so to curse them as criminals ”. In the triggering contribution, Hornuff described the “myth of cultural identity” as “the ugly face of the Enlightenment”, which in turn paves the way for “right-wing extremism”.

In 2018, in an article for DIE ZEIT , Hornuff accused his former university colleague and Marc Jongen , the cultural-political spokesman for Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), who has now been elected to the Bundestag , "dutifully [...] racist hygienic fantasies in well-known language regulations [ babble] ”. Since Jongen initially fought for a permanent employment relationship at the art college, but later announced that it would be "an honor and pleasure" for him to tackle the "de-pollution of the cultural scene", Hornuff assumed an "ideological [.. .] Schizophrenia ”. Hornuff recognized in this a “symptomatology” for “right-wing identity politics” and evaluated “Marc Jongen's announced cleansing act [...] as a visual model”. In an article for Junge Freiheit , Jongen reacted by classifying Hornuff's statements as exemplary for the “failure of the intellectuals” and pointing out that “in all institutions [...] the type of slippery careerist with the fine scent for the opportune” is known . According to this, the "daily failure of the intellectuals on Merkel-Germany's path to a state of thought [...] can be made transparent in terms of its causes using the example of Hornuff."
