About | My Site

Choi Sin-yi (Emilie) is a Hong Kong–based researcher and curator working at the intersection of digital culture, media infrastructure, and the blue humanities. Her research examines how computational systems reshape the perception, governance, and creative production of environments and visual culture, with a focus on the Chinese and East Asian context. Her second thread of research addresses AI and society, exploring how artificial intelligence is transforming creative agency, media platforms, cinematic practice and cultural imaginaries. Her broader interests span media and cultural studies, film and visual culture, science and technology studies, and critical AI studies.

Currently a PhD candidate at the School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong, her doctoral research investigates how sensing technologies, film, and art practices produce the ocean as a site of knowledge and governance, proposing the "technical ocean" as a sensorial milieu where environmental and computational processes are materially entangled and politically inscribed. Her curatorial work engages artistic responses to technological and ecological transformation.

蔡倩怡（Emilie）是紮根於香港的研究者與策展人，研究領域橫跨數碼文化、媒體基礎設施與藍色人文。她的研究探討計算系統如何重塑我們對環境與視覺文化的感知、治理及創意生產，尤其聚焦於中國及東亞脈絡。她的另一研究方向關注人工智能與社會，探索人工智能如何改變創意的能動性、媒體平台、電影實踐與文化想像。她更廣泛的學術興趣涵蓋媒體與文化研究、電影與視覺文化、科技與社會研究，以及批判性人工智能研究。

她現為香港城市大學創意媒體學院博士候選人，其博士研究探討感測技術、影像與藝術實踐如何將海洋建構為知識與治理的場域，並提出「技術海洋」的概念，探索海洋在環境與計算過程同受物質性交纏與政治銘刻而構成的感知域。她的策展實踐關注藝術能如何回應科技與生態的變化。
