Chok Si Xuan
Chok Si Xuan (Singapore) is an artist who works with installations. Interested in cybernetics, specifically the feedback systems that occur between humans, living organisms and machines, she is curious about how post-human cultures and industrial materials shape the way contemporary society understands itself. She constructs and readapts systems within installations in hopes of challenging our own subjectivities of our environment, bodies and other organisms, organic or manufactured. Using predominantly found electronic objects, her choice of materials, and systems become a way to tap into the relationships we already have, expressing our shared likeness in them.
Within her practice, her current focus explores the concept of emergence within natural environments and man-made systems. Pursuing the points of tensions between the material, immaterial, human, organic and mechanical, constructing installations out of found objects and systems that exist in our everyday lives, and using such systems and technologies to expand our physical reality.
