OVERVIEW: Since 2005, I’ve been curating Chinese media art in collaboration with Denis Zhu (Zhu Haijian), an independent curator in Shanghai and, more recently, with MIchelle Loh, a curator based in New York.  I began collaborating with Zhu after he invited me to China to show my own films and videos at the Shanghai Duolun Museum of Contemporary Art.
