Shuang Li was born in Wuyi Mountains, China and received her MA in media studies from New York University in 2014. She currently lives and works in Berlin, Germany and Geneva, Switzerland. Situated in globalised communication systems and inspired by various localities and uneven information flows, Li’s work, which encompass performance, interactive websites, sculpture and moving image installations, studies various mediums composing the contemporary digital landscape. Crucial to this practice is the interaction between the medium and its users as well as amongst the mediums themselves. These diverse forms of intimacy form a motif that runs through the artist’s practice, as she explores how various forms of technology bring us into contact, and how they form part of a neoliberal apparatus that regulates the body and desire. Yet her focus is not limited to the virtual, but also includes the material lives of those digital landscapes, such as the infrastructure and logistics systems that support it, and more importantly, the cracks in between. 

Li has had solo shows at Peres Projects, Berlin; Cherish, Geneva; Callie’s, Berlin and Open Forum, Berlin. Li has exhibited in a number of international exhibitions including Double Vision, Tai Kwun Contemporary, Hong Kong; Curtain, Para Site in collaboration with Rockbund Art Museum, Hong Kong; Lemaniana: Reflections of other scenes, Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève in Switzerland; Modes of Encounters: An Inquiry, Times Museum, Guangzhou and Cosmopolis #1.5: Enlarged Intelligence, Mao Jihong Arts Foundation in collaboration with the Centre Pompidou. Li is currently participating in the 59th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, The Milk of Dreams, curated by Cecilia Alemani.
