Introduction
Artists Jung HSU and Ana MARÍA CABALLERO will connect live to surf together Collected Memory_Carve from the Fragmented Past (2025). Through this commented tour, their overlapping creative practices, research methodologies, and how the work reflects their mutual investigations into the fragility of memory, the tension between erasure and preservation in digital/material archives, and the role of collective participation in reconstructing obscured or contested histories.

Speaker | Jung HSU
Jung HSU is a Taiwanese artist based in Berlin. Her practice begins with interdisciplinary research and often results in installation work. She is currently in the Meisterschüler program in Art and Media at the University of the Arts Berlin.
She received the Golden Nica (Interactive+ category) from Prix Ars Electronica in 2022 and the Art and Science winner from Falling Walls in 2023. Her current two projects focus on the materiality of memory devices, and investigating the globalisation of the canary bird.

Panelist | Ana MARÍA CABALLERO
Ana María Caballero is a Colombian-American multidisciplinary artist and poet whose work critically examines how biology shapes cultural structures. Through a practice spanning performance, sculpture, installations and virtuality, Caballero challenges entrenched narratives, revealing the often-silenced costs of care. Her work also explores the evolution of the book in the contemporary and digital world.
Caballero's innovative fusion of literature and technology has positioned her at the forefront of digital poetics. She co-founded theVERSEverse, a digital poetry gallery, and became the first living poet to sell a poem at Sotheby’s as well as the first artist ever to receive a triple Lumen Prize finalist nomination.
The author of eight books and a graduate of Harvard, she’s exhibited at venues like HEK, ICA Miami, Ashmolean Museum and the Francisco Carolinum and performed live at the Venice Biennale, Art Basel, Art Genève and Fundación Telefónica, among other leading cultural events.
In 2025, she was named a Forbes' Top 50 Latin Women to Follow, recognizing her significant contributions to contemporary art and literature.
