Kit Hon
My work is generally centred on the mediated body, explored through the use of blended digital-tangible interfaces. I often draws on themes of negotiating identity, connection, and reconnection in my practice.
My current research interest lays in psychosomatic phenomena, ritualistic interventions, communicating feeling, and intentionality.

Hello there! You have reached the about me page!
- If you trying to confirm I am real, I hope these pictures help my legitimacy?
- If you were trying to find “me” related information quickly, I assume you may want this: curriculum vitae
- If you want to get to know me, I encourage you to explore my site further or reach out via the internet!
I am constantly changing (so is my site) and I am glad to live in an era where I can openly negotiate my identity.
Yes, that can be confusing. For one, not even my own website has my name written consistantly - am I Tiffany or am I Kit? Can I not be both?
Honestly, I don’t mind how you make sense of me, who or what you call me - so long as you use earnesty in our interactions. If you can awknowledge that you are not the same as you were yesterday, and accept neither am I - we will without a doubt get along :)
