Raised in rural south-eastern China in the 1990s, Li Shuang grew up consuming popular media such as YouTube, MySpace, knock off Nintendo consoles, pirated video games, and dakou CDs. Since childhood, the artist has been interested in the inner workings of technology, and through her practice, has developed an understanding of its capacity as an agent of both entertainment and control within the context of China’s accelerated development. Encompassing performance, interactive websites, sculpture and moving image installations, Li Shuang’s interdisciplinary work considers mediums that compose the contemporary digital landscape, interactions between those mediums and its users, as well as amongst the mediums themselves. Central to Li’s practice is the friction between biopolitics and the body, digitized desire, and human intimacy. Her work examines how technology establishes globalized communication systems, and how they form part of a neoliberal apparatus that regulates the body, desire, and flows of information.
