She studied Art History and Philosophy in Vienna, Siena and Zürich and she earned her M.A. with the Professor Sebastian Egenhofer in 2017. Her research is focused on contemporary art practices and media theory that engage with the influence of digital infrastructures on society such as discussing conventional and new strategies of knowledge production and representational systems within everyday media, politics, and art.
