Si Yi Shen is an emerging multidisciplinary artist working with digital media, augmented reality (AR) technology, and installation, moving between online and offline domains.

Her current practice explores the diaspora experience through the body of an immigrant in a digitally enabled world. Her most recent project was inspired by my parents' nonverbal online communication through memes, photos, and emojis.

Recent commissions include Thriving, Rhodes Learning Space Digital Gallery, In the Moment - Boronia Grove Community Centre, City of Parramatta (2021), Sending You Love - Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre, City of Liverpool (2021), Living - Storybox Darling Harbour / Parramatta, ESEM Projects (2021), The Eclipse - Willoughby Visual Art Biennial (2019) and The Bloom and the Moon - Rhodes Connection Digital Gallery (2019). I was also a finalist in the Fisher's Ghost Art Prize (2021 and 2019) and Rookwood Hidden Sculpture Walk (2018).

Si Yi currently lives, works and plays on Gadigal Land in Sydney, Australia.
