Kim Ying [METAL_UPA] is a Singapore-born, London-based artist working in sound, light and kinetic machines. Rooted in electronic club culture, dance and game worlds, her work translates immaterial bodies into interactive, fleeting encounters, where data and archival systems become spatial choreography.

‍

With a background in interaction design, she questions what an interface is and what it conceals, treating digital infrastructure, planetary movement and natural forces as participatory bodies that can be listened to.

‍

Her work has been exhibited at Ars Electronica, Copeland Gallery, Meanwhile Festival at Gaffe and SOFTER at The Art House by Acrylicize. She co-runs Cooked.wav, a food and rave collective, and is co-founding Reciprocity, a techno-spirituality collective, with its performance piece Coded Rituals.
