Xin Liu’s work revolves around various ways of experiencing distance, and exploring the tension between personal experience and technological society. Trained as an engineer, she conducts scientific research that is infused with personal narrative, reconfiguring technological tools to offer unexpected affective experiences and artefacts. In one recent work, she performed a choreographed dance in a zero-gravity parabolic flight; in another, she sent her wisdom tooth to outer space on a private space mission. In works such as these, she uses complex technological systems to explore new experiences of the self. Her work’s technological sophistication and rigorous dedication to the personal and poetic yields new ways of understanding technological subjectivity.
