Sheung Yiu

Sheung Yiu (HK/FI) is a Hong-Kong-born, image-centered artist and researcher, based in Helsinki. His artwork explores the act of seeing through algorithmic models and sense-making through networks of images. His research interests concern the increasing complexity and agency of computer-generated imagery (CGI) in contemporary digital culture. He seeks to expand its ontology by formulating the connections between photography theories and new forms of realisms and network thinking. Adopting multi-disciplinary collaboration as a mode of research, his works examine the poetics and politics of emerging image ecology, such as computer vision, computer graphics and remote sensing. Yiu’s work takes the form of photography, videos, photo-objects, exhibition installations, writings and bookmaking. Sheung Yiu is a doctoral candidate in Photography at Aalto University.
