We are thrilled to announce that Henselfest will feature a multimodal performance by artist Olivia Ting alongside Brianna Conrey!
Olivia Ting is an interdisciplinary media artist based in San Francisco who transforms the active labor of navigating the world with a hearing aid and a cochlear implant into immersive visual architectures. Spanning video projection, photography, graphic design, and live performance, her practice extends disability aesthetics to explore universal sensory perception.
Rooted in classical piano training at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, she earned an MFA from UC Berkeley. As an accomplished media designer for live performance, she has created projection works for the Oakland Museum of California, Grace Cathedral, and the San Francisco Arts Commission. For Henselfest, she highlights her multimedia collaboration with festival co-organizer Brianna Conrey on Hensel's Dream: The Playing Picture of the Fleeting Year at Samper Recital Hall. A Creative Power Awards finalist and recipient of multiple SFAC grants, her work has been supported by fellowships with the Leonardo CripTech Incubator and CNMAT.
