Between Two Trees, There Are Many Worlds
Yiu Sheung
Taking two trees – a surviving tree and a dead tree – in the central forest in Helsinki as a starting point, the project explores hyperspectral imaging and posthuman sensing of the natural environments in the context of the ongoing bark beetle infestation in Northern Europe.

Sheung Yiu (b. 1991, Hong Kong) is an image-centered artist and a doctoral researcher in photography, based in Helsinki. Yiu explores imaging practices emerging at the intersection of photography and large-scale computation, from facial recognition to remote sensing. Yiu tells digital fables about computer vision through excavating and aestheticizing large-scale vision datasets, to problematize the assumption that human vision is a computable problem.
