LG02, Professor Stuart Hall Building
This lecture is fully accessible and fully public
Shu Lea Cheang sums up a lifetime of art work in three words: FOOD SEX MONEY - in any order. From garlic as credito to post-net non-cash flow; from fish sexing upstream to being smeared in viral fluid; from drive by dining to location ID: HOME; Cheang comes out to unashamedly acknowledge the three major strands of her work. From homesteading the cyberspace in the 90s to her current retreat in the BioNet; from coin locker babies to seeds underground; from eco-cybernoia to liquidised futures, Cheang signs off on the tech race. Call her 'badass' 'cyberpunk cultist'; shut her down for 'sexual stimulation'; walk out on her for being 'sexually explicit', but do dine with her to watch the money grow and the seeds sprout.
Bio
As an artist, filmmaker, networker, Paris-based Shu Lea Cheang constructs networked installation and multi-player performance in participatory impromptu mode. She drafts sci-fi narratives in her film scenarios and net, installation and social artwork. She builds social interface with transgressive plots and open networks that drive public participation.
