Ho's art work is a constant negotiation with cross-cultural and various media-critical perspectives. Which explores different concepts and histories of art through its embodied relationship to philosophy and technology with an endeavour delves into the power of the old, which is as apparent as the potential of the new. From the creation of the hybrid replica of the ancient instrument Qin, to the anthopological expedition into the contemporary Shanshui landscapes, by navigating through everyday objects and events to revale complexities of identity in a rapidly evolving world. Often, she interweaves historical narratives with the present, focusing on experiential poetics.
Ho‘s work has been showcased internationally, with exhibitions and performances at the He Xiangning Art Museum in Shenzhen, Center-A in Vancouver, ISEA, and ZKM in Karlsruhe, among others.
