[2017 Artists in Residence, 2017 Workspace Residents]
WebsiteWorking as a graphic designer in the commercial industry and the underground experimental audiovisual scene for a decade in New York City has strongly influenced Chika’s artistic practice, shifting it from a one-way communication to the audience into a fully interactive experience that uses technology to establish a moment of co-creation with the public.Her work creates what she describes as the symphony of light: creating minimalist geometric shapes and visuals that explore dark space while inviting people to reinvent themselves through the relationship between objects and images. Light and sound are the main elements she uses in her installations, which are ultimately a visual performance that experiments with improvisational communication and immediate interaction with the audience in real time.
