Performance view of Shuang Li's "Lord of the Flies" (2022)
Art has always been preoccupied with depicting the inexpressible, the metaphysical. Shaung Li’s multidisciplinary practice takes on the task of corralling images, narratives and feelings to illustrate the experience of living with digital technology (which is to say, the experience of living right now). Her work explores the technologies that are very often not understandable to us, obscured as black boxes and proprietary knowledge, that are seemingly ephemeral and yet a gravitational force for many. The shape and weight of the iPhone immeasurably heavy in our lives.
