Remy Siu, Founder / Creative Director, sunset visitor
Remy Siu 蕭逸南 is a composer and new media artist based in Vancouver, BC (located on the unceded, ancestral, and occupied traditional lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), and Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) Nations of the Coast Salish peoples). Recently, his work has involved the construction of automated and variable performance apparatuses that employ light, sound, software, and the body. He is interested in creating friction and stakes between the performer, the interface, and the system through the use of game mechanics and failure. His output spans chamber music, dance, theatre, installations, audio-visual work, and video games. In 2021, he founded sunset visitor 斜陽過客, an independent video game studio focused on narrative experiences. In 2024, his work on 1000xRESIST (debut video game) was nominated for three Independent Game Festival (IGF) Awards: Excellence In Narrative, the Nuovo Award, and the Seumas McNally Grand Prize.
