Sin Wah personal website

Sin Wah Lai is an interdisciplinary artist. Lai’s practice is a hybrid of happening, site-specific and participatory relational aesthetics as a research method. Her work traces the belonging in community through narrative, and investigates the ephemeral existence in time and transformation of preserved objects, in response to the living spaces where beings co-exist. The displays often combine organic elements, found objects, body/action, images, illustrations and texts in collage. By poetically looking into minute moments in life and exploring ways of thinking beyond the human and non-human divide, Lai reveals the intimate connection between one’s inner perception and the external world.

GPS, geo-poetic system

Geo-poetic system was a term coined by Lucy Frears during locative media art research (published 2017). The basis of geopoetics, a theory and practice developed by Scottish philosopher and poet Kenneth White, is to connect humans to the lines of the earth (White cited in McManus 2007: 183), or ‘what’s out there’ (Ingold 1993; 154; White 2005: 200; White 2006: 9). The contact White describes is often between the human mind and the earth, what he calls ‘landscape-mindscape’ (Legendre 2011: 121). Because of the embodied nature of locative media experiences using a smartphone in landscape for these walking art experiences using gps technologies Frears expanded this notion to being ‘landscape-mindscape-bodyscape’ (2017).
