Ep.84 | Jolene Mok is an experimental artist and I sat down with her to talk about a range of different subjects. Jolene began with her experience of not being able to see anything, the mundane or the exciting part of boredom, heuristics, deep ocean exploration in Barbados, and we ended our conversation with the red forest of “Life Is Elsewhere”.
Jolene Mok (b. 1984) was born and raised in Hong Kong. An experimental artist, she takes video art and experimental film as her major creative platforms. Mok earned her M.F.A. in Experimental and Documentary Arts at Duke University in 2013. She has been exposed to an interdisciplinary learning and working environment since her undergraduate education in the School of Creative Media through her major in the Critical Inter-Media Laboratory (2003-2007). Since 2006, Mok’s works have been shown worldwide. From 2011 onwards, she has been on itinerant taking part in artist residency programs, and she has a particular interest in undertaking artist residency programs in relatively remote locations.
