YIP TONG

Kim Yip Tong is a multi-disciplinary artist from Mauritius.

She did her foundation at Olivier de Serres in Paris and studied in London where she received her BA in Textile Design at Central Saint Martins and MA in Information Experience Design at the Royal College of Art.

Fascinated by the living world Kim likes her art to be in motion, whether through moving image or physical computing. Her curiosity encourages her to seek collaborations and apply analogue and material driven techniques to digital processes, merging craft and tradition with new technologies.

Through interactive and immersive audio-visual installations, Kim’s projects bring people together, trigger their imagination and encourages them to learn and wonder.

Her current research focuses on the identity and the natural history of her country Mauritius.

Kim is a visiting lecturer in Contemporary Art at the University of Architecture ENSA Nantes Mauritius. She has participated in international festivals including Annecy International Animation Festival, Sonar +D Barcelona, Blue Dot festival in the UK, Jena Fulldome Festival in Germany and Porlwi by Nature in Mauritius. She has exhibited in India, Singapore, Mauritius and Europe and had had 2 solo exhibitions at the Sunbury Embroidery Gallery and Art Panorama in the UK.
