Wei Kang Beh is a Malaysia-born, Berlin-based transdisciplinary artist, who implements phenomenology as their inception of work. They explores the in/tangible senses from the aspects of matter/non-matter relativity, in the translations between motion, vibration, visuals and time-space in open/closed (virtual/physical) dimensions.
Their work is influenced by the un/conventional and experimental notions between avant-garde art, sound art, science, quantum theories, geometry, mysticism, music and technological artifacts. Beh practices multi-media methodologies to embody their work into sound sculpture, installation, spatial performance, audiovisual composition, graphic score, electroacoustic improvisation and experimental performative electronic instruments/devices.
