Since 2017 she has headed the citizen science project Hear How You Like To Hear at the Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology in Oldenburg . She initiated the first open source project and also the first citizen science project at Fraunhofer IDMT. As an artist, she has regular exhibitions, among others with Sandra Becker , Gisela Weimann , Betina Kuntzsch .

Peggy Sylopp's works are inspired by artistic forms of expression of the avant-garde, such as minimalism or the Fluxus movement. She thinks this ahead in the field of contemporary electronic and digital art.
