Jen Liu Read Bio Collapse
Jen Liu is a New York-based artist working in video, painting, performance, and sculpture/biomaterial centered on diasporic Asian experiences, postcolonial economies, feminist techno-biopolitics, and re-motivating archival objects. In her most recent work, she used genetic engineering and dark encryption to find alternative ways of preserving firsthand accounts of electronics workers - and in her videos, collaged scripts and custom AI language models are used to combine corporate and industrial publications with firsthand accounts of factory workers and labor activists. Liu is a recent recipient of the Hewlett 50 Arts Commission, Creative Capital, LACMA Art + Technology Lab, Cornell Tech \Art Award, and the Guggenheim Fellowship among others. She has presented work at MoMA, The Whitney Museum, The New Museum, Sculpture Center, Kunsthaus Zurich, Kunsthalle Wien, MUSAC Leon, KW Berlin, multiple Berlinale Forum Expanded exhibitions, Royal Academy and ICA in London, and was included in the 2019 Singapore and 2023 Taipei Biennials.
