Bixiao Zhang (or The ElectroPoetics) explores a cross-pollination of eco-poetic, post-humanist readings of Emily Dickinson and aspects of Buddhism with contemporary understandings of the emergent subjectivities of the digital environment. The fluid entity undertaking this research has been termed The ElectroPoetics. The ElectroPoetics performs co-created being-hoods from the electronic world as a praxis of care by situating encounters across electronic entities such as online media, artificial intelligence, consumer electronics and the user. Such being-hoods are driven by Object Oriented Feminism, or the mode of 'being poor in the world', which is a self-abnegating being-hood that identifies with each object contemplated. Such ever changing being-hood does not arrive at a predetermined position but leaves traces of their lived experience as digital artworks which could be presented as video, performance, multimedia installation, AI generated imagery, animation, sound or text.
