Artist Statement


Echo Ho is an artist whose practice navigates the world by blending multiple dimensions of sound, image, performance, code, and memory. Rooted in philosophical, intuitive, and embodied research, her time-based works emerge from shifting personal and collective experiences, translating culturally informed gestures into sonic, visual, and spatial forms.

From tranquil ancient Qin sounds to contemporary noise compositions, and from archaic cosmologies to ethical AI, her work bridges geographic and temporal divides, reflecting a world in constant transformation. Her performances become rituals that merge digital and physical realms, exploring the evolving content of knowledge systems. Through both art and teaching, Ho creates spaces for deep questioning and presence, fostering reconciliation, transformation, and an awareness of what is becoming.

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS #10: Echo Ho im Gespräch mit Maria Wildeis  für das Medienwerk NRW
June 2025

In der 10. Folge CLOSE ENCOUNTERS spricht die Künstlerin Echo Ho mit Maria Wildeis. Echo Ho ordnet sich ungern in Kategorien ein, ob Performancekünstlerin, bildende Künstlerin oder Filmemacherin. In ihrer Biografie gibt es zwar Stationen wie Malerei, ein Filmstudium in Hongkong, aber als sie anfing an der KHM in Köln zu studieren, hielt sie sich hauptsächlich im Klanglabor von Anthony Moore auf und so kamm die neue Welt von Sound und Elektonik dazu. Wenn es also ein Label sein muss, dann vielleicht die Medienkunst. Für Echo Ho kommt es aber vor allem darauf an, Material – und dazu gehören alle Medien – zu nutzen, um ihre Ideen zu materialisieren, um mit der Welt zu kommunizieren. Ob mit einem Kaktus, einer Qin oder einem gewebten Stück Stoff.
