Koh Juen  寇准
As an interdisciplinary artist and researcher, I navigate the terrain between microscopic intimacies and cosmic narratives, establishing critical artistic practices at the intersection of technological ethics, body politics, and Eastern philosophical traditions. My work integrates non-Western-centric feminism, post-human ethics, and Chinese Taoist principles through a decolonial lens that challenges dominant technological paradigms.

Sound art serves as my primary methodological framework, through which I synthesize new media technologies, material archaeology, and feminist new materialist theory. As a composer, keyboardist, and sound artist, I craft immersive sonic landscapes and participatory installations that transcend purely technological applications, prioritizing embodied experience and affective resonance. My practice explores how sound can reconstruct cultural memory and articulate alternative expressions of marginalized narratives in our digital era.

My creative output often manifests through sonic environments, participatory installations, and radical poetics that question how technological mediation reshapes bodily autonomy, emotional labor, and ecological consciousness. Through these multisensory experiences, I aim to reawaken audiences to the profound physicality of sound, fostering deeper connections between auditory perception and corporeal presence.

I further integrate practices as an astrologer, tarot reader, feminist healer, and self-media practitioner, weaving these diverse elements into a holistic approach to art and healing. This multifaceted engagement forms a unique pathway of "technological poetics as social intervention," creating spaces for reflection, empowerment, and transformation that invite participants to engage with existence's complexities in meaningful ways.
