In 2021, Julia co-curated the 'pyramidale festival für neue musik' in Berlin. In 2022, projects included 'Lichtschatten' – a research and database creation of rhythmic cells derived from sun position for an alternative notation format, and following from this, her first attempt at Echtzeit-programming for the project 'Krypton Diaries'. In May and June 2023, Julia was represented at the art spring Berlin festival with two works – the visual facade piece 'Das Innere Leuchten' for Berlin's oldest cinema, the Colosseum, and the sound installation 'Blaue Stunde' for a foot bridge in the North of Berlin.

 

Currently, Julia is involved in an eco-acoustic sound installation project titled 'Waldtagebuch', where weekly on-site field recordings are collected for 12 consecutive months and processed into an audiovisual journal. Future plans for 2023 include the development of an opera and preparations for an paper-based immersive exhibition scheduled for early 2024.
