I am a curator and researcher based in Bern, Switzerland, who is interested in how digital technologies in the 21st century influence the production, perception and distribution of contemporary art. My curatorial work deals with topics such as artificial intelligence, online self representation and body images in social media. In my PhD project I examined exhibition displays of postdigital artistic practices in physical and virtual spaces.
After my Master studies in Bern and Berlin, I worked for Art Basel Unlimited (2013-2014), Migros Museum for Contemporary Art, Zurich (2014-2015), as an assistant at Stadtgalerie Bern (2015-2016) and as a curator of the platform videokunst.ch that is run by a private collection focused on video art in Bern (2016-2019). From 2020 to 2023 I worked as an assistant at the contemporary art department at Kunstmuseum Bern and a curator for the NFT platform elementum.art. I am currently employed as head of program and curator at HEK (House of Electronic Arts) in Basel.
