Reworlding: Panel Discussion #1 — Voices and Bodies

​This panel brings together three artists whose works interrogate how technology reconfigures care, intimacy, and embodiment. Moderated by Dr Lydia Wong-Plain, the panel situates artistic practices within broader conversations on the politics of representation in contemporary media art: how technological systems absorb human values, desires, and anxieties, and how voices and bodies become sites of negotiation between authority and care.

​Speakers: 00 Zhang, Jo Ho, Priyageetha Dia
Moderator: Dr Lydia Wong-Plain

​Lydia Wong-Plain is a researcher working across museums, exhibition-making, and cultural institutions. She recently completed her PhD at Nanyang Technological University, where her research approaches museums in postcolonial Singapore as sites where policy, curatorial practice, and cultural expression are continually negotiated. Her work unfolds through curatorial and community-based projects that engage vernacular practices and non-canonical histories, often in dialogue with civic institutions. She is a Senior Lecturer at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts. Her writing appears in Detours: A Decolonial Guide to Singapore (Duke University Press, forthcoming).
