Research and writing
My fields of research are modernism/avant-garde studies and contemporary art with a particular focus on media aesthetics and the relationship between art, technology, media and politics.
I have taken part in the NFR-supported projects Aesthetics at Work (2003-2007) and Media Aesthetics (2004-2008) and have directed the NFR supported research project The Archive in Motion (2011-2014) in collaboration with media- and film scholars.
I have been a member of the international editorial board of Art History. Journal of the Association of Art Historians (Wiley) (2012-2016) and am currently member of the editorial board of MAST. The Journal of Media Art, Study and Theory (NeMLA), Venti Journal (Air, Experience, Aesthetics) and Journal of Art History (Routledge). I am a regular contributor to art critical publications such as Artforum, Afterall, Parkett, and Texte zur Kunst.
I have previously worked as a music critic and also done a number of curatorial projects.
Since 2015, I also work as visiting professor at the Department of Art History, University of Chicago.
