Joanne Ho is a media artist and lecturer whose practice spans digital installation, generative systems and speculative image-making.

Her research and artistic work centre on digital corporeality, examining how technologies shape, distort and reimagine our understanding of the body, memory and meaning.

Her work has been exhibited and commissioned by institutions including the National Gallery Singapore, Art Science Museum, Esplanade, and The Private Museum.

Apart from her studio practice, Joanne's work extends into designing for live and performative contexts, including multimedia visuals and set design for theatre and musical productions, as well as curation and programming for art and technology platforms. She collaborates across disciplines with artists, performers, designers and technologists to produce multidisciplinary works.
