Enbo Chen (b.1990)

enbo.chen@icloud.com
Born and raised in China
Based in Helsinki, Finland

Enbo is an artist and performer interrogating the ontological friction between organic impulse and industrial logic. Drawing on a background in robotics and mechanical engineering, they merge analog darkroom processes and 3D printing to construct ritualistic environments that negotiate the interstitiality between 2D and 3D dimensions. Their live performances integrate death whistles as psychoacoustic devices, combining extended voice with the psychoacoustic interplay of human organs and machines. Through ritualistic hyper-presence, they investigate the thresholds between oblivious spectral whispers and visceral cries.
