He Zike works across video, writing, performance, installation, prints, and computer programs to explore how an individual perceives oneself and time under the flow of information, media, and technology milieu. Drawn from her lived experiences in her hometown of Guiyang, China’s data capital, He creates fictional narratives that explore the impacts of the digital realm on contemporary life, exploring the disorders that lie beneath these ostensibly well-structured systems. She works with researchers to develop artistic projects revolving around databases, machine learning, electronics, deep time, archives, memories, and consciousness.
