許芷瑋是一位媒體藝術家及網頁開發工程師,擅於探索感官與感知的邊界,尤其對視覺及嗅覺最感興趣。許的作品多在藝術、科學和科技之間遊走。許最近的研究透過使用氣味、嗅覺技術及嗅覺數據進行對嗅覺感官的創作。許最近的實踐涉及網絡技術,例如使用 WebGL 在網絡上創建虛擬空間。許期望透過視覺主導的創作媒介去引視覺感官以外的討論,向我們所見的現實提出質疑。
許於2019年在香港浸會大學視覺藝術學院 - 視覺藝術(榮譽)文學士畢業。許的作品曾於多個國家的團體展覽展出,包括台灣國際錄像藝術展—ANIMA阿尼瑪(台北,2020 - 2021)、13th ACM SIGGRAPH Conference and Exhibition on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques (南韓,2020)、IAM International Art Moves 2020(柏林,2020)、The Haunted(倫敦,2019)、Zone Out(南韓,2019)、出爐2019藝術畢業生聯展(香港大會堂,2019)。
HUI Gi Wai Echo is a new media artist and a web developer who explores of boundaries of senses and perception, especially sight and smell. Her works meander between art, science and technology. Hui’s recent research departs from the investigation of the sense of smell using olfactory technology and olfactory data. Hui’s recent practice involves web technologies such as creating virtual space on the web using WebGL. Hui tries to start conversations beyond the sense of vision via the creative medium in the world dominated by vision, challenging the seen reality.
Echo currently lives and works in Hong Kong. She has graduated with BA(Hons) in Visual Arts, Academy of Visual Arts, Hong Kong Baptist University in 2019.
