Bio:
Kian-Peng Ong is a new media artist based in Los Angeles. He received his BA (interactive arts) from Lasalle College of the Arts (Singapore). Currently, he is a graduate student in the UCLA Design | Media Arts program (USA). His interest in sound stems from its abstract yet powerful
affective qualities. Of equal interest to him, and a focus of one of his ongoing research projects, is the human relationship with nature, specifically how humans adapt or perceive environmental changes. Technology often plays a central role in his work, creating an experience, harmonizing with the theme and conceptual framework, without focusing the work on the technology itself.
