Koh Juen As an interdisciplinary, research-based artist, I move between the microscopic and the cosmic, cultivating critical artistic practices at the intersections of body politics and Daoist philosophy. My work is grounded in feminist thought, posthuman ethics, and Daoist principles, approached through a decolonial lens that questions and reimagines dominant cultural paradigms.

Sound art forms the core of my methodology. As a music practitioner, I create sonic landscapes and participatory installations that emphasize embodied experience and presence over formal structures. My practice asks how sound can reconstruct cultural memory and open alternative pathways for marginalized narratives in our time.

My works take shape as sonic environments, installations, and radical poetics that explore how mediation reshapes bodily autonomy, emotions, and ecological awareness. I focus on sound's capacity to anchor audiences in the present moment, deepening the connection between auditory perception and corporeal being.

I describe this approach as poetics as social intervention: rather than producing aesthetic objects alone, my work delineates zones of presence, reflection, and transformation, inviting participants to encounter existence in ways that are both embodied and critically resonant.
