Fahsai, a multidisciplinary artist born in Natkhonrasahima, Thailand, currently studies and lives in Wellington, New Zealand. She is known for creating performative installations that use technology to acknowledge the co-existence between microbes and humans.
Her previous works focused on the intersections between Nature, Humanity, and the need for connection, culminating in a time-based practice that included carefully planting chia seeds. This interest has spurred their more recent works that have taken on the technological domain, from exploring the plant-facilitated audio synthesis and creating sound systems from plant and copper that require audience participation to be active. Her venture uses a blend of technological and organic materials to push the boundaries of art and public engagement.
Fahsai aims to make her art not just seen but felt and experienced. She seeks to evoke emotional and physical reactions from participants, contributing to her artistic practice and fostering a sense of self-preservation and calming comfort by sound and space.
