Siew-wai Kok
Interdisciplinary Artist

Siew-wai Kok is a video-sound artist and a performer. She has exhibited widely in New York State, Malaysia, China and Europe. Siew-wai has participated in numerous media art festivals including 2004 Improvised and Otherwise Festival (NYC),
25hrs International Videoart Show (Spain), Science and Art International Digital Art Education Proseminar & Digital Art Exhibition (China) and more. She has received grants from New York Foundation for the Arts and The Arts Council in Buffalo. She is granted the Special Jury Commendation by the Thayer Fellowship In the Arts (SUNY) during her graduate study at Alfred University. Siew-wai's sound works are included in the compilation album Out of Nowhere - Electronic Music from the Upstate New York Fringe (2003), produced by Aaron Miller & the Big Orbit Gallery (Buffalo, NY). Siew-wai gained her BA in Media Studies at University of Buffalo and her MFA in Electronic Integrated Arts at Alfred University. Wearing many hats as an artist, Siew-wai is also an independent curator who has produced several media art events in Upstate New York and in Malaysia with the support of local art organizations and educational institutions.
Artist's Statement:
Siew-wai is interested in creating poetry out of the ordinary, offering a refreshing perspective of everyday routine. She creates video within the tradition of performance, but utilizes the camera as an omnipotent source of visual and sonic documentation of emotions, thoughts, and sensations. Her aesthetics draws a sensual and meditative sensibility out of the viewer. Recording with electronic devices becomes an extension of diary writing where the author is the audience. An observer as well as a performer, Siew-wai is simultaneously in front of and behind the camera in most of her work, toying with the reflexive relationships among these positions. The human body (body parts, movements, the human voice etc.), both its physicality and its creative expressions has been her artistic exploration. Discovering new realms, feeling and seeing ordinary routines in new lights, Siew-wai pursues the place where a kind of transformation takes place: a place of transition and connection; a place that is vibrating; a place of being alive.
