For many years, work has unfolded across transmedia art, media studies, network sociology, and the cultural study of technology, with a sustained focus on the spatial forms produced through the entanglement of culture and technology, and on their historical transformations. This work addresses information space, digital infrastructure, platform governance, labor mobility, and cultural production, drawing on political economy, spatial theory, STS, and cultural studies to examine how technology, capital, and social imagination interact under different historical conditions to shape institutions, perception, and social relations.
Former editor-in-chief of POTS Weekly, and spent two years developing Faces of the Multitude, an audiovisual archive of Asian social movements. Also active in curatorial practice and artistic production, and often described as a critical artivist. The documentary My New Hometown. regarded as the first work in Asia to focus on an urban renewal movement. It later became teaching material in architecture and urban studies programs at several universities in Taiwan, and has toured in cities around the world.
The current research focus is the “Technology and Culture Trilogy,” centered on Silicon Valley, Shenzhen, and Hsinchu. This project offers a historical analysis of contemporary technological culture through these three sites. The San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley section examines the convergence of counterculture and the origins of computing, and how this gradually developed into a global system of thought and technology. The Shenzhen section focuses on the mobile internet, shanzhai, electronics manufacturing, and labor networks. The Hsinchu Science Park section in Taiwan approaches the history of computational media through the trajectory from contract manufacturing to advanced semiconductor production, treating it as a key thread for understanding contemporary Taiwanese society and the liberal order that sustains it.
This site brings together essays, research, lectures, curatorial projects, and artistic works. Life is a living project, and what is preserved here are traces of its unfolding.
