Vvzela Kook is a new media artist who mainly works in audiovisual mediums, including performance, theatre, computer graphics, and drawing. Kook’s video works combine technology with her artistic practice to reproduce and convert urban cityscapes into an integrated virtual experience, guiding the audience on a cybernetic journey. The condensed textures in her works connect with sensual levels in our perception and reintroduce the unexplored potential of video as a medium. The narrative plays a vital role in her work, and transmedia storytelling is part of the artistic concept. The mixing of delicate drawings, 3D printing, and video game optics in her videos shows especially the wide range of media and materials the artist uses to translate her research-based projects visually.

Kook has participated in and shown her works in Tai Kwun (2023), Kathmandu Triennial (2022), Para Site (2020), C-Lab Taipei (2019), MoCA Taipei (2019), Asia Society Hong Kong Center (2019), Tai Kwun (2019), Microwave International Media Festival in Hong Kong (2018, 2016), PuSh Performing Art Festival in Vancouver (2017), Centre for Heritage Arts and Textile (2017), Hong Kong Arts Festival (2015), and ’89+’ programme (2012) co-curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist and Simon Castets.

新媒體藝術家曲淵澈，主要以聲音視覺作為創作媒介，包括聲音視覺現場演出、劇場、電腦動畫與繪畫。她的視覺作品結合了技術與她的藝術實踐，以再現和轉換城市景觀為一個集成的虛擬體驗，引導觀眾在符控流域旅行。作品當中的多重的紋理與我們感知的多個感官相連，重新介紹視頻作為一種媒介的潛力。她的作品注重敘事性，跨媒介的敘事手法是藝術家表達觀念的重要方式。尤其是混合出現的圖紙，3D打印物件與計算機遊戲美學的視頻作品，顯示了藝術家運用的多種媒介與材料來視覺化她的研究型作品。

她的作品曾經展出於香港大館 (2023)、加德滿都三年展 (2022)、香港 Para Site  (2020)、空總當代文化試驗場 (2019)、台北當代藝術館 (2019)、亞洲協會香港中心 (2019)、香港微波國際新媒體藝術節 (2018，2016)、溫哥華 PuSh 表演藝術節 (2017)、六廠紡織文化藝術館 (2017)、香港藝術節 (2015)、中國聲音藝術大展 (2013)、德國 Friszchelle 藝術節、杜塞爾多夫藝術節 (2012)，與 Hans Ulrich Obrist 與 Simon Castets 共同策劃的「89+」計劃 (2012)。
