Melody Mou (she/her) is a media artist whose work explores ecology and experimental narrative through computational technologies. Her research addresses threatened ecologies in the context of social conflicts, indigenous knowledges, and the ways language reproduces ideological assumptions. Her current art practice investigates alternative uses of technology, especially machine learning and electronics, for ecological purposes.

Her working process often involves writing, field research, and data or information collection to create poetic narratives. Her goals revolve around developing innovative applications of technology and demonstrating how digital media can nurture our coexistence with non-human agencies. Her work develops experimental storytelling strategies and interpretable AI techniques. She researches how culture (e.g., indigenous knowledge, language, and communication) constructs our relationship with nature.

Melody received a BA in Creative Media from City University of Hong Kong. Her artwork has been shown in a variety of contexts, including FILE Festival, The New River, VIDEOFORMES, New Media Writing Prize, and FutureTense Awards. Melody worked as a researcher and a creative technologist for ACIM SCM Lab and Hong Kong Arts Development Council. Currently, she is an MFA student at the UCLA Design | Media Arts.
