SHIH CHIEH HUANG
Synthetic Seduction
1 March - 30 June 2013

“What [Shih Chieh Huang] generates in all of his work is a genuine sense of technology as life form.”

—Sally Butler, artlink.com

Shih Chieh Huang creates sculptural ecosystems using computer parts and common objects, such as plastic bags and bottles, which he animates in installations that mix a machine aesthetic with an organic impulse. Gathering inspiration from marine biology, Huang explores bioluminescence and its role in seduction and reproduction in the deep sea.
