About
Hollis Hui is an interdisciplinary artist born in Hong Kong. She has completed her undergraduate studies for Fine Art (BA Hons) at Central Saint Martins and received First Class Honours. Hui works across many media such as installation, sound, performance, moving image and text. She expands her practice beyond the digital by exploring the relationship between 'digital' and the human condition. Particularly focusing on the intersection between art, science and technology, she questions our engagement with media and addresses socially relevant topics including post-humanism, data privacy and social networks. Hui's work has been selected for the ‘Xhibit 2022’ exhibition, shown internationally at The Koppel Projects. In 2023, Hui has been nominated for the New Blood Art Emerging Art Prize (2023) and the MullenLowe NOVA Awards.
What if, we can use living organisms as a potential medium to store, represent and display data? Evidently, SD memory cards are known for this function. However, what happens when they cease to function properly? ‘BI0xMICR0º’ provokes growth, time, and living memory – represented as visual portraits of and from geographical sites. Both holding digital data, as well as imbued with geographical and geological information. The work seeks to disrupt our expectations of networks and digital map services. Each card contains a different set of data, inaccessible and concealed over time by live bacteria that grows and spreads across the petri dish.
