Dr Ho Yue Jin
Assistant Professor
Dr. Ho Yue Jin holds a Ph.D. in Creative Media from the City University of Hong Kong. His doctoral dissertation is an interdisciplinary study that explores how digital technologies enhance the affordances of sinographs (Chinese characters) and other written languages in new media art.
Before joining the Department of Cultural and Creative Arts, he taught at Hong Kong Metropolitan University, where he offered courses in visual cultures, new media art, film, and digital literature. Supported by an HKADC grant in 2022, he also served as a Visiting Research Fellow in the Department of Literary Arts at Brown University. His current research focuses on the intersection of text, space, and digital art
In addition to his academic role, he is a media artist, translator, and writer. His creative works frequently investigate the relationships between materiality, writing, and history. His projects have been showcased at international festivals, including IFVA Hong Kong, Cinetribe Osaka, ZEBRA Poetry Film Festival Berlin, and the Shanghai Biennale.
