Experience
Melody is a media artist whose work addresses issues of ecology and experimental narrative through computational technologies. Her recent works focus on Machine Learning, Critical Ecology, and Language. She investigates alternative use of technologies, especially AI and electronics, for ecological purposes. She is particularly interested in exploring threatened ecologies in the context of social issues, indigenous knowledges, and the ways language reproduces ideological assumptions. Melody’s working process often uses writing, field research, and data or information collection to create poetic narratives.
Melody holds a BA in Arts at School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong. She is currently a research assistant, working on machine learning for moving images at School of Creative Media.
