Ker Chen
Multimedia Artist
About
Ker Chen is a multimedia artist whose practice bridges virtual worlds with immersive, live experiences. Their work explores the intersections of myth, fortune-telling, and AI algorithms as pathways for interpreting and validating the present while capturing fragments of possible futures. They view their art as an investigation into the elusive forces that shape existence—forces often as invisible as they are influential, from the unpredictable flow of emotions to the hidden workings of the body and mind. Through this lens, Ker’s work examines both the chaotic and the controllable elements within these forces, forming a dialogue between the self, the environment, and the broader, interconnected world.
Central to Ker’s practice is their fascination with simulation—especially how it relates to sensations regulated by endogenous chemicals, like hormones and neurotransmitters, that influence mood, perception, and identity. Their work contemplates how technology can amplify or distort these internal processes, blurring the boundaries between the physical and virtual. By intertwining scientific and spiritual perspectives, Ker seeks ways to control or at least understand the forces that govern these sensations, probing both rational structures and uncharted realms.
