Sougwen 愫君 Chung is a Chinese-Canadian artist and researcher, and is the founder and artistic director of Scilicet, a London-based studio exploring human & non-human collaboration.
As a former research fellow at MIT's Media Lab, Chung is considered a pioneer in the field of human-machine collaboration. Chung was selected as the Woman of the Year in Monaco for achievement in the Arts & Sciences and received the Lumen Prize for Art in Technology. Chung's work explores the mark-made-by-hand and the mark-made-by-machine as an approach to understanding the dynamics of humans and systems.
This speculative critical practice spans performance, installation, and drawings which have been featured in numerous exhibitions at museums and galleries around the world such as Vancouver Art Gallery, Vancouver; Art Basel, Miami; National Art Center, Tokyo; ArtScience Museum, Singapore; The New Museum, New York; and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Geneva.
