Xiaoqiao Li is a research-based artist and a current senior lecturer at the Department of Creative Arts under the School of Arts and Social Science at the Hong Kong Metropolitan University (HKMU). His research analyses digital print-matrixes via the dialogue between analogue and digital imprints. Through such a practice-based approach, his research is engaged with the question of how the printmaking process can help us understand how information is captured, retained, lost, and transmitted in digital imaging functions.

He completed his Bachelor of Arts in Visual Art at the Faculty of Arts and Design, Macao Polytechnic University and his MA in Visual Arts at Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London. He holds a PhD from the Academy of Visual Arts, Hong Kong Baptist University, and was awarded the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme (HKPFS). He has exhibited nationally and internationally and has received professional awards across the globe, including the Clifford Chance Purchase Prize in the UK and the Chinese Young Artists’ Work Award at the Beijing International Art Biennale.
