Into Multiplicities explores the unexplored realms of archived information that is collected across time, languages, and individuals. It references Jorge Luis Borges’ The Library of Babel, which talks about the notion of a library of infinite books which contains every sentence that could possibly be written. Into Multiplicities presents material of a more personal or intimate in the library through words, strokes and images that culminate in abstract visuals. The artist’s intention is to highlight the tenacity of the human mind as well as its capacity to interpret reality. The work reflects on the intangible emotions and underlying feelings that are driven by human nature.

Working with digital technologies like AR, VR, 360 film, full-dome projections, and multi-sensory installations, Ho’s work explores the future of space-making and the way it affects our relationship with the built and natural environment. Ho’s recent work with machine learning addresses questions about the role of creative intent in man-machine collaborations, and what it means to be human in the face of a world that is increasingly automated.
