Hi there!
My name is Yuki Wong, a third-year UBC media studies student minoring in informatics based in Vancouver, BC. I'm an event photographer—I've covered everything from UBC Geering Up summer camps, UBC's annual Multidisciplinary Undergraduate Research Conference, to SIGGRAPH, the premier conference in computer graphics.
But I'm also interested in media research—both applied and theoretical—along with tech and info policy. My interests lie in the areas and intersections of media theory (particularly cultural techniques), cultural studies, science and technology studies, critical HCI, informatics, and interface critique. In short, I interrogate the role media and tech plays in our lives, society, and everything that exists to imagine alternatives. I also further our understanding of the relationships between power, media, tech, culture, and so forth, whether it's a content analysis on how we tweet amidst a political uprising, critiquing policy, or developing theories using media materialism. Questions such as "who's excluded or subjugated?", "what's hidden?", "who does this serve?", "what are the conditions of possibility?", "which possibilities close and open?", and "what does this say about us?" are all within my domain.
