Xiao Xue

Xiao makes navigational apparatuses that investigate the space between actions and consequences with the aim of shortening the distance between the two. Born in the 1400-year-old city of Urumqi, China, Xiao was the national winner of the 2017 BMO 1st! Art Invitational Student Art Competition for her walking camper sculpture. Currently an MFA candidate at the University of Guelph, she aims to slow down the overwhelming societal acceleration by negotiating autonomous rights with artificial bodily extensions.
