Carrie Sijia Wang
Carrie Sijia Wang is a New York-based artist working with interactive experience, video, installation, and performance.
She is interested in how systems, rules, and regulations affect cultures, beliefs, and rituals. In her multimedia performance, The System, she created a fake government department that tests candidates' ability to generate system-compliant content. She is also the creator behind ALEX, a fictional artificial intelligence HR manager that uses gamification as a subtle tool of control in the workplace. The juxtaposition between the real and the fictional, the rational and the absurd, is a recurring theme in her work.
Wang is a 2020 Mozilla Creative Media Award recipient and the winner of the Special Mention Jury Award at Filmgate Interactive 2020.
