Born in China, recently based in the Netherlands. They are interested in how the established social structure influences the body experiences: alienation, abandonment, exhaustion and disease, which lead to their works playing with the autonomous transforming potential body of hacking, defeating, disrupting, and restoring as the strategies. Their work is not limited to a certain media, wishes to be conveyed in a sticky, thick, blurry, permeating way.
They are the team member of Metro54. Metro54 is a cultural organization and space for global sonic, cultural and artistic practices, gathering(s), (un)learning, histories, grassroots community work, spatial politics and transformative justice. Based in Amsterdam.
