KAI FAI CHOY
Speculative Designer / Spekülatif Tasarımcı

Prospectus for a Future Body / Geleceğin Vücudu için Prospectüs

Born in 1979, Singapore, Ka Fai is an artist, performance maker and speculative designer. He is inspired by the histories and theorizations that together contain the uncertainties of the future. His research springs from a desire to understand the conditioning of the human body, its intangible memories and the forces shaping its expressions. These factors converge into complex articulations at the intersection of art, design and technology. Ka Fai graduated in Design Interaction from the Royal College Of Art London, with the Singapore National Arts Council Overseas Scholarship, and was conferred the Singapore Young Artist Award in 2010.
His works have been presented in major festivals, such as the 25th Tanz Im August (2013), Singapore Arts Festival (2012), Festival Tokyo (2011), 2nd Asian Art Biennale (2009), 3rd Fukuoka Asia Art Triennale (2005). His works exhibited at major arts institution, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York (2014), The Israel Museum, Jerusalem (2012), White Chapel Gallery, London (2010), Singapore Art Museum (2009) and Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin (2005).

1979 Singapur doğumlu olan Ka Fai bir sanatçı, performans yaratıcısı ve spekülatif tasarımcıdır. Geleceğin belirsizlğini kapsayan tarihler ve teorilerden ilham alır. Araştırmaları insan vücudunun koşullandırılmasını, elle tutulamayan hatıralarını ve ifadelerini şekillendiren güçleri anlamaya olan arzusundan besleniyor. Bu faktörler birleşip sanat, tasarım ve teknolojinin kesiştiği noktalarda kompleks şekillerde var oluyorlar. Ka Fai Londra Royal College of Art'ın Tasarım Etkileşim programından Singapur Ulusal Sanat Konseyi Yurtdışı Bursu ile mezun olmuş ve 2010 Singapur Genç Sanatçı ödülüne layık görülmüştür.
İşleri the 25th Tanz Im August (2013), Singapore Sanat Festivali (2012), Festival Tokyo (2011), 2nd Asian Art Biennale (2009), 3rd Fukuoka Asia Art Triennale (2005) gibi büyük festivallerde sunulmuştur, ayrıca Modern Sanat Müzesi - MOMA, New York (2014), İsrail Müzesi Museum, Kudüs (2012), White Chapel Gallerisi, London (2010), Singapur Sanat Müzesi (2009) ve Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin (2005) gibi büyük sanat kurumlarında da sergilenmiştir. 

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
