Christina Jauernik
Christina Jauernik is an architect, artistic researcher, and performance
artist based in Vienna. She studied contemporary dance at the
Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Amsterdam, choreography and visual arts
practices at Dartington College of Arts (UK), art and architecture at
the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and the University of Arts Berlin. She
is Senior Scientist at the Institute for Art and Architecture, Academy
of Fine Arts Vienna, where she completed her PhD, "Touching Distance:
Inter-Views with the Virtual," supervised by Vicki Kirby and Wolfgang
Tschapeller. The dissertation is an experimental inquiry on how to
perceive, how to think the moving body relative to its (un)built
surroundings, and how to accommodate this body considering the
contemporary accelerated, networked, multiple, and disparate virtually
engineered points of view. Currently, she collaborates on the artistic
research project "Unstable Bodies," which centers around questions of
cohabitation with other species, in particular vegetal modes of
perceiving, ecologies of attention, and translation capacities.
