About


Edy Fung is an artist, musician, and occasional writer whose current focus responds to the technological conditions from post-cybernetic movement. With interest beyond the anthropocentric perspectives, she works with sound, text, documentation, archive, installation, sculpture, public intervention and transmission art.

Her research-based practice draws inspiration from the philosophy of information, history of science, and origin of machine electronics and automata, and reflects on the possibilities in the other human conditioning with alternative technologies, including non-binary computing and quantum computing. Together with her sonic project Quantum Foam//QNTMFM, her practice seeks to explore and address current technological paradigms and the resulting epistemic limitations.


Fung’s work has been presented at museums, art and music contexts internationally, including the Irish Museum of Modern Art, CTM Berlin, FACT Liverpool, Fylkingen Stockholm, RHA Dublin, MUTEK (Montréal, Bueno Aires/Barcelona), CCA Derry~Londonderry, Nobel Week Lights Stockholm, Somerset House Studios, London and Galway International Arts Festival.
