Si Yi Shen is an emerging multidisciplinary artist working with digital media, augmented reality (AR) technology, and installation, moving between online and offline domains.
Her current practice explores the diaspora experience through the body of an immigrant in a digitally enabled world. Her most recent project was inspired by my parents' nonverbal online communication through memes, photos, and emojis.

She was a recent finalist of the Ravenswood Australian Women's Art Prize (2023) and a participating lab artist at Platform Art (2023)."
