Her dissertation, “The Dispositif of the Virtual: Transformations of Digital Art Practice in Virtual Space,” examines virtuality as a contested field of possibility shaped by digital dispositifs that structure perception, subjectivity, and aesthetic experience. Her research focuses on the intersections of virtuality, XR-based artistic practices, and media theory, with case studies at the interface of game engines, digital performance, and political imagination. She holds an M.A. in Media Studies from Humboldt University Berlin, where she previously researched exhibition practices and digitality. Alongside her academic work, she is also engaged in research-based artistic creation and practice.
