Chun Shao’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 as well as our emotional longings for the latter. Her recent research and experimental works combine traditional handicrafts with computer programming, thus exploring the new aesthetics of interaction whilst reflecting on our digitalised lives. Shao received an MFA in Performance Art from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (2013) and obtained a PhD from the Center for Digital Arts and Experimental Media, University of Washington (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, Hong Kong (2024); X Museum, Beijing (2023); UCCA Edge (2022); the OCAT Biennale (2021); and the UCCA Dune Art Museum, Aranya, Hebei (2021), amongst other institutions.
