He has worked on the relationship between some relevant moments in contemporary American art history and aesthetics. In particular, she has studied the philosophical implications of Lucy Lippard’s thought and art criticism. Within the framework of the ERC project AN-ICON, she examines the American milieu of VR emergence, linked to psychedelic and sci-fi culture and the paleo-cybernetic wake of virtual fascinations on prehistoric caves.
