Choi Sin‑yi (Emilie) is a Hong Kong–based researcher and curator exploring the intersections of media, technology, environments, and infrastructure. Grounded in media and cultural studies, her work bridges the digital and environmental humanities to investigate visual culture, AI creativity, platformization, and eco-digital governance across East Asia and China.
Currently a PhD candidate at the School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong, Emilie integrates academic research with curatorial practice. Her doctoral research focuses on the sociotechnical imaginaries of smart environments, with a specific emphasis on ocean sensing—examining how scientific instruments, digital infrastructures, film, and contemporary art shape our understanding of the marine ecosystem.
蔡倩怡是紮根於香港的研究者與策展人，關注媒體、科技、環境與基礎設施之間的關係。她的研究以媒體與文化研究為基礎，結合「數碼人文」與「環境人文」的跨學科視角，深入探討當代東亞與中國脈絡下的視覺文化、生態數碼治理、人工智能創意及平台化現象。
她現為香港城市大學創意媒體學院博士候選人，致力於結合學術研究與策展實踐。其博士研究聚焦於智慧環境的「社會技術想像」（sociotechnical imaginaries），尤其關注海洋感知（ocean sensing）—探討科學儀器、數碼基礎設施、影像與當代藝術實踐如何共同形塑我們對海洋生態的認知。
