SHAO Chun
Based in Hangzhou, Shao Chun’s creative practice includes multimedia installations, e-textiles, post-internet art and design fiction. She explores the intimate relationship between the human body and digital interfaces (‘digital intimacy’) and our emotional longings for the latter. Her recent research and experimental works combine traditional handicrafts with computer programming, exploring the new aesthetics of interaction while reflecting on our digitalised life.
Shao graduated from China Academy of Art in 2010, received an MFA in performance art from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2013, and obtained her PhD from the Center for Digital Arts and Experimental Media, University of Washington in 2019. Her work has been presented in solo exhibitions at the Macalline Center of Art, Shanghai (2022) and the Jack Straw New Media Gallery, Seattle (2018). She has also participated in group exhibitions at CHAT in Hong Kong (2024), X Museum in Beijing (2023), UCCA Edge (2022), OCAT Biennial (2021), UCCA Dune Art Museum (2021) and other important art institutions.
