CHAN CLAIR KA KIU

Chan Ka Kiu (b.1995 Toronto, Canada) is a Hong Kong based artist, graduated in 2021 from City University of Hong Kong, School of Creative Media (MFA). Chan’s previous exhibitions include solo exhibition with DE SARTHE Gallery, “Late to The Party” (2023, Hong Kong), solo presentation with Parasite, “Don’t come so fast, darling” (Art Basel 2019, Hong Kong), group shows “Very Natural Actions” (TaiKwun, Hong Kong, 2020), and “Tree Fall in the Woods and No One’s There” (Power Station of Art, Shanghai, 2019).
Chan Ka Kiu’s practice is grounded in visual cultural anthropology, examining what it means to be human within algorithmic and generative systems. Using found materials—ranging from footage and memes to AI models and 3D scans—Chan reinterprets fragments of a data- and material-saturated world into layered narratives across video, installation, and performance. Her works function as informal studies of how information, technology, and emotion intersect in contemporary life. Each project often begins with an everyday observation that expands into research on digital and physical remnants, treating coincidence, humor, and dissonance as methods to question how shared experiences and memory are constructed today.
陳嘉翹(b. 1995加拿大)，現居於香港，於2021年畢業於香港城市大學創意媒體學院（MFA）。陳曾舉辦個人展覽《來回又折返》（2023，德薩畫廊）《慢慢嚟啦，打令》（2019年巴塞爾藝術展，香港），參加過群展《林中藏木》（香港大館，2020年）和《林中的樹倒下而沒有人在》（上海當代藝術博物館，2019年）。
陳嘉翹的創作以視覺文化人類學作為方法框架和延展思考的起點，關注在演算法與生成技術主導的時代，人類經驗如何被重塑。她以作品為非正式研究，運用各類現成素材——如影像、迷因、人工智能模型、三維掃描與現成物——重組和理解數據與物質爆棚的世界。其視覺語言雖常帶有遊戲性或荒誕感，卻是對現實的長期觀察與思辨。作品以觀察日常為起點，延伸為對數位與實體痕跡的研究，將偶然、幽默與矛盾視為理解當代經驗的重要方法，探討資訊、科技與情感之間的關係。並在錄像、裝置與行為中展述故事。這些尋獲物成為平行的故事，映照當下共享的時代經驗，使作品成為對集體記憶與現實感知的再思考。
