Statement Profile GlogauAIR Project CV Summary

Statement

My practice explores the human evolutionary imperative to become in the modern technoscientific context, inspired by my bachelor’s studies in Quantitative Biology and experiences as a queer Chinese-Canadian, and the interconnectedness of identity, society, nature. As an early-career art-scientist, I aim to analyse and decodify cultural and technological systems to reconceptualize humans as techno-evolutionary machines, where survival demands our biological systems to adapt, embed, and utilize modern advancements, like artificial intelligence. At GlogauAIR I hope to experiment with sculpture alongside my oil painting and drawing practice.

Profile

GlogauAIR Project

The project will explore skin as a dynamic interface for the human condition through a series of 2D and 3D mixed media work. As our body’s most immediate physical barrier with the world, skin is an essential channel for the transmission of stimuli to and from our bodies, acting as a nexus of our internal (biological, psychological, heritage & identity) and external (social, environmental) domains. I will visually investigate skin’s physical and aesthetic characteristics (e.g. structure, coloration, texture) and the influence of various modes of representation, whether physical or digital, on our capacity to perceive skin and the human form. I hope to contextualize these representations within larger societal discourses.
