Sher Doruff was head of the Research Dissemination Programma at Waag Society until September 2007. This programme investigated creative processes and research methodologies of projects within Waag Society. It aims to distribute analyses of these processes to a wider public in a variety of ways.
Sher received her PhD in 2006 from University of the Arts London/Central Saint Martins/Smartlab. Her research focused on situating translocal performance practice enabled by KeyWorx in a conceptual frame that references the affective intensities of diagrams, biograms and polyrhythms.
Sher was working as a freelance artist when the Keyworx (originally KeyStroke) project was initiated in 1998. From 2002-2004 she was the Creative Director of the Sensing Presence Programme and the Connected:Live Art project (2003-2005). She has published several papers on collaborative processes including:”Collaborative Praxis: The Making of the KeyWorx Platform” in aRt&D, V2/Nai Publictions, Rotterdam, 2005; “Collaborative Culture” in Making Art of Databases, V2/Nai Publictions, Rotterdam, 2003; “KeyWorx: A Working-Alone -Together Reflection” in A Guide to Good Practice in Collaborative Working Methods and New Media Tools Creation, Performing Arts Data Service, 2005; “The KeyStroke Project” in Performance Research Journal, 1999.
