Amy Cheung

2025 Spring Fellow




Amy Cheung is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher whose practice blends psychology, technology, and civic engagement. Her immersive, participatory projects interrogate contemporary crises—ecological collapse, social fragmentation, and intergenerational trauma—by questioning human agency in uncertain times.

Centering on awe-driven, speculative narratives that cultivate new sensibilities through collaborative experiences, her key works include TimeBank THE GAME (an alternate reality game incentivizing environmental repair), Imagine.Heroes (a neuroaesthetic triptych translating fMRI scans into engraved portraits), and Face Machine (a robotic arm exploring intergenerational grief by trying on masks).

She is currently developing Memory Portal, a planned year-long underwater installation that merges ancient mythologies with citizen science. Anchored by two hybrid sculptures—Will (embodying preservation) and Bill (symbolizing development)—the piece will explore tensions between human intention and systemic forces, transmuting climate anxiety into constructive public dialogue and crowd-sourcing a "deep time" consciousness for future ecological harmony.
