Xiaoqiao Li is an artist and researcher whose work explores the intersection of analogue and digital imprints, with a focus on digital print matrices. Using a practice-based approach, he investigates how printmaking processes deepen our understanding of information capture, retention, loss, and transmission within digital imaging.
Li earned a BA in Visual Arts from Macao Polytechnic University, an MA in Visual Arts: Printmaking from Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London, and a PhD from Hong Kong Baptist University under the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme. His PhD thesis was recognised by the Leonardo Graduate Abstracts (LGA) Peer Review Committee as a top-rated LABS Abstract for advanced research in Art and Science, published by Leonardo (MIT Press Journals).
Li’s work has been exhibited internationally, receiving awards such as the Clifford Chance Purchase Prize (UK) and the Chinese Young Artists' Work Award at the Beijing International Art Biennale. He actively contributes to academia through presentations at conferences and articles published in the IMPACT Printmaking Journal and Leonardo (MIT Press), fostering dialogue between traditional printmaking and digital art practices.
