朱祺皓(ZHU Kio) is a post-MFA scholar at ACCAD and Design department in Ohio State University. The artist earned his MFA from Art and Technology Studies, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and BE from School of Design and Innovation, Tongji University.
朱祺皓 (ZHU Kio)’s practice often tells stories, mostly real life stories concerning China's major social and political events, historical and ongoing. The artist is also interested in what kind of role technology, for instance social media, plays in these events and on us, and most recently the ideas of archive, collective memory, mortality/immortality and East Asian death rituals.
At the same time, coming from a design background, the artist is constantly trying out new methods and tools for his art expression. His works range from abstract animation, video installation to interactive web platform, speculative design etc.
朱祺皓 (ZHU Kio)’s works has been included in Ars Electronica’s online exhibition, reported by Oregon Arts Watch, and exhibited at Chicago local and nationwide galleries.
