Biography
Liv Tsim is an interdisciplinary artist, bio-material designer, and researcher based in Hong Kong and London. She is currently a Visiting Researcher at the Hub for Biotechnology in the Built Environment, a collaborative research initiative between Newcastle University and Northumbria University. She graduated with Distinction from the MA Biodesign program at Central Saint Martins in 2023 and BA Visual Arts at Academy of Visual Arts, Hong Kong Baptist University.
Tsim's research and practice explore bio-materiality, ecological justice, technology and speculative futures through mixed-media installations and video. The intricate climate crisis necessitates targeted and comprehensive speculation. She actively collaborates with scientists and communities to foster interdisciplinary dialogue,accumulate specific observations, advocate for speculative visions, and create an inclusive culture.
Tsim was awarded the CreateSmart Young Design Talent Special Award from the HKYDTA in 2023, granted the MediaArt Scholarship from the Department of Cultural Affairs in Salzburg, and nominated for the Green Trail Awards LVMH Maison/0 CSM in 2023. Her artwork has been exhibited internationally, including the "Post-Human Narratives" series (Cattle Depot Artist Village and Hong Kong Museum of Medical Sciences, Hong Kong, 2020-2022), "Living with the Living" (Hypha Studio, London, 2024), "#CreateCOP Exhibition" (Fotografiska Shanghai Center, China, 2024), The Art Central (Hong Kong, 2024), and "Tokens of Remembrance" (Galleria Myymälä2, Helsinki, 2024).

詹昫嵐的研實踐探索由生物材料性、生態公義、科技和未來推測交織而成的領域，混合媒介裝置和影像為主要創作媒介。氣候緊急的情況正呼喚的是具針對性的、似觸手般感知的推測。 她喜歡與科學家和社區合作，創造引及性和參與性的藝術作品。她相信跨學科合作可以拓寬知識領域、結集推測性的願景和促建構包容性。
詹昫嵐於2023年獲得香港設計中心「創意智優」青年設計才俊特別獎，並獲得薩爾斯堡文化事務部頒發的媒體藝術獎學金，同時入圍2023Green Trail Awards LVMH Maison/0 CSM。她的作品曾在國際上展出，包括「後人類敘事」（香港牛棚藝術村和香港醫學博物館，2020-2022）、Living with the Livings（倫敦Hypha Studio，2024）、「#CreateCOP展覽」（中國上海攝影藝術中心，2024）、Art Central（香港，2024）和「Tokens of Remembrance」（芬蘭赫爾辛基Galleria Myymälä2，2024）等。
