About

Aurie Hsu is a scholar and artist whose research sits at the intersection of performance, technology, and the body. Her most-cited work, “The Hybrid Body and Sonic-Cyborg Performance in Why Should Our Bodies End at the Skin?” (2019), draws on Donna Haraway’s “Cyborg Manifesto” to explore how performers become hybridized with machines, challenging anxieties about technology’s encroachment into human activity. Hsu reframes this relationship as a creative kinship, where the body and digital systems co-produce meaning through sound and movement. Though her citation count is modest, her work is conceptually rich, engaging with posthumanism, embodiment, and sonic performance in ways that resonate deeply within performance studies and digital arts communities. Hsu’s contributions lie in her ability to bridge critical theory with practice, offering a vision of the cyborg not as a threat but as a site of artistic and expressive possibility. Her research invites students and scholars to reconsider the boundaries of the human in an increasingly mediated world.
