Communities of Practice. Techno Diversions convenes three Singaporean artists—Chok Si Xuan, bani haykal, and Ong Kian Peng—whose practice engage with the material, cultural, and emotional layers of technology.
Chok Si Xuan
23 September 2024 - 28 February 2025
Chok Si Xuan (b. 1998, Singapore) is driven by a deep fascination for the complex relations that enmesh technology in the everyday. Her art practice blurs the lines between the human, the organic, motors, and machines. She explores cybernetics, the feminine, and the ways in which technology and industrial materials shape contemporary subjectivities and corporealities. Her growing body of work features composite sculptures and kinetic installations that coalesce odd circuitries, feedback systems, found electronics, and material components of common technological devices into uncanny symbioses between intimacy and automation.
Her work has been shown in and commissioned by institutions such as ArtsScience Museum (2024), Singapore Art Museum and Esplanade (both 2023).
