Edy Fung is a post-disciplinary artist and musician whose current focus responds to the technological conditions from the the extension of post-cybernetic movement. She 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.
With interest beyond the anthropocentric perspectives, she works with sound, text, documentation, archive, installation, sculpture, public intervention and transmission art. Together with her sonic project Quantum Foam//QNTMFM, her practice seeks to explore and address current technological paradigms and the resulting epistemic limitations.
