Cia Himiân Lí     |    Cia Him-ian Li

A sound and trans-media artist focuses on the flowing energy beneath the visual surface. She takes 'sound' as the awareness and agency, to explore the reflective relationships and forces between the environment, memory (history), and life. Ordinarily from a microscopic perspective, Cia recounts the connections and ruptures of different layers of consciousness. Her works extend from sonic to visual, juxtapose performance, installations, images, and video, to deconstruct and reveal the intertwined temporal textures and dimensions in the dynamic relationship between humans and the environment. With water as the main axis in recent years, several planned creations have been developed to explore water management and environmental engineering technologies by she. She also collaborated with historians and linguists to interpret archives and engage in related creations, exploring colonial history and decolonization. During her 10-year experience as an educator, she framed the "Incorrect" Lab. This series serves as a social practice, using educational and interactive methods to engage communities and issues with artistic perspectives.

Lí Him-iân Cia  (李欣芫)

聲音、跨媒材藝術創作者。

 

關注視覺表層下的流動能量。以「聲音」為主要感官意識與輸出端,探索環境、記憶(歷史)、生命之間的映照關係與作用力量。常以微觀的角度,敘述不同意識層的連結與斷裂。作品從聲音延伸視覺呈現,解構重組人與環境連動關係中交錯的時間紋理、維度狀態。近幾年以水為主軸,發展延伸出多個探索水治理、環境工程技術的計畫型創作。曾有10年教育經歷的她,亦為「不正確」實驗室主持人,此系列作為社會實踐,以教育、互動的模式進行藝術參與社群及議題的具體行動。目前往水分子更微小的領域,感知此元素在環境與文明中的質變,並探索「生物多樣性」的現實和內涵。13屆台北雙年展 Music Room 演出藝術家;2023獲LOM+you 國際贊助;2021台南新藝獎得主藝術家;作品曾發表美國、韓國、 德國與中國。目前定居於台灣台南。
