Eleni's work is situated at the intersection of media theory, contemporary philosophy and digital art and has appeared in journals and book collections such as Body & Society (forthcoming), Culture Machine (2010), Leonardo (2010) and others. 

Her research is preoccupied with the relationship between technology, art and media theory and the capacity of their encounters to generate new concepts and alternative experiences. It concerns attempts to theorise alternative linkages between the digital and the virtual, culture and nature, technology and biology, science and art, beyond the commonplace approaches of negation, dialectics and critique. Instead, her writing opts for the construction of non-reductive, transdisciplinary methods, after thinkers like Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari, William James, Henri Bergson, Susanne Langer, A.N. Whitehead, Isabelle Stengers; as well as a current wave of theorists that follow on their footsteps, such as Brian Massumi, Erin Manning, Matthew Fuller, Steve Goodman, Anna Munster and Kodwo Eshun, among others.

Eleni is currently working on a monograph that investigates the underlying dimensions of rhythm in experimental sound and media art eventsFields in which she teaches and supervision interests include media theory, new media art, contemporary philosophy, aesthetics, technoscience, digital culture and theories of sound, time, and affect.
