My research investigates 'atmospheres of surveillance' as a concept that can deepen our understanding of what it entails to live in a contemporary surveillance culture, where surveillance practices range from control and discipline to care, communication, consumption, entertainment, and pleasure. Specifically, the aim of the Ph.D project is to identify and conceptualize the affective atmospheres of surveillance seen through the lens of contemporary art. I am interested in how artworks can illuminate alternative perspectives on bodily, emotional, and sensory experiences in the Surveillance Society.
I have a background in Contemporary Literature and Modern Culture, and the research project is situated in the intersection of Surveillance Studies and Cultural Studies.
