Shu Lea Cheang
Shu Lea Cheang “My work aims to re-envision genders, genres, and operating structures. My genre‑bending, gender‑hacking practices challenge the existing operating mechanisms and society’s structural boundaries. I build social interface with transgressive plots and open network that permits public participation; I construct networked installation and multi-player performance in participatory impromptu mode; I draft sci-fi narratives in film scenario and artwork imagination. I seek to define a genre of new queer sci-fi cinema.”
