CONTACT

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.
