Since 2017 I have been associated to the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, where I concluded my PhD in artistic research in 2022. My PhD project Choreographic Contingencies for on- and offline focused on the concept of liveness, asking how liveness can be constructed if we are not here and now together. The research bridged performance studies and concrete tools from performative practice with contemporary discourse and practices in the fields of net art, game art, philosophy of technology and media studies. 

My most recent research has focused on the facilitator role and specifically facilitation of participation as well as documentation of socially engaged performance practices. I am also frequently invited as a guest researcher where I contribute to research design and formats of outreach and publications.

outerwoman (Elise Richter PEEK) is an artistic research project headed by Cordula Daus in collaboration with Sebastian Bark, [M] Dudeck and myself. The project investigates and develops imaginaries surrounding the human reproductive complex. Situated between language art, performance, feminist theory, and phenomenology-inspired field studies, the project works with a variety range of approaches to create fables, performative settings, and conversations around family-un/making, non/fertile subjectivities, and co-creation. 21- ongoing
