Adam Hsieh is a digital artist based in Nipaluna/Hobart, Lutruwita/Tasmania.
Hsieh's artistic inquiry emerges from an ongoing investigation into the interplay between places and place-makers across entangled physical and virtual realms, guided by his intimate experience as a queer Chinese migrant. He navigates the complex and fluid nature of spatial experience by manipulating light, sound, moving image, code, and generative AI in multisensory artistic interventions. Drawing on situated, embodied, and affective practices, his work examines the uncertain and ambiguous boundaries between inhabitants and their multilayered environments. He speculates on alternative ways of coexistence and becoming between humans and more-than-humans through caring with and in difference.
Recently, Hsieh presented new interactive art installations created in collaboration with custom generative AI at Good Grief Studios in Nipaluna/Hobart, as part of the Dark Mofo Festival. He was also selected for the group show VIEW 2025 at photo access Gallery in the Manuka Arts Centre, Kamberri/Canberra, where he exhibited a multi-channel video work featuring a physical/digital wayfinding experience within the island landscape. Previously, he had showcased his research and works at SIGGRAPH, the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts, WIP Arts & Technology Festival, Ars Electronica Festival, Patchlab Festival, Athens Digital Arts Festival, and Vivid Sydney.
Currently, he is a PhD candidate in creative arts at the University of Tasmania and continues to explore the world with his weird sense of humour.
Recognising the cultural and creative connection between First Peoples and the continent, Hsieh is privileged to create works of art upon the unceded land of Muwinina and Palawa/Pakana people, between Kunanyi and Timtumili Minanya. This always was and always will be, Aboriginal land.
