SM1701 Independent Research #5: Memo Acton | By Andy Cheng | November, 2025

by SkillAiNest

Memo Actin’s primary interests in his artworks revolve around exploring the nature of reality, life, and consciousness, particularly through the lens of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and computational systems. He is fascinated by the intersections and tensions between **science and spirituality, technology and ecology, modernity and ritual, self and collective intelligence**. Actin creates works that investigate the human-machine relationship and the cultural, social and environmental impacts of contemporary techno-life.

Her practice spans a variety of media including moving images, sound, poetry, dance, light installations, performance, and online interventions, often using algorithmic, data-driven, or interactive processes. Primarily, he draws on diverse scientific and philosophical disciplines – such as physics, biology, neuroscience, anthropology, and philosophy – to investigate hidden natural and human processes, inviting new ways of understanding and perceiving the world.

In summary, the memo is driven by curiosity about Actin’s artifacts:

– Fundamental questions of existence and consciousness
– Poetic process under natural phenomena
– Relationships and entanglements between humans and machines
– How technology shapes culture, perception and collective intelligence
– Bridging art with science, philosophy, and spirituality to create speculative simulations and data dramatizations

His art invites contemplation of the forces, both visible and invisible, that shape life and the human experience, and offers unfamiliar yet profound insights into our shared reality.
