What does it "meme"?
Principle Investigator:Stacy Lo
After completing her doctoral dissertation on the so-called “jianghu” culture and cynicism in contemporary China, Luo began researching digital surveillance and censorship, and their impact on bodily consciousness and behavior, particularly in the context of a series of protest movements in various parts of Asia in recent years—but not limited to this. Her recent preoccupations with artificial intelligence have resulted in several publications on the creative use of technologies and various “jianghu” tactics in Hong Kong’s “Be Water” movement as well as on new media art. Currently, her research involves the propagation and dissemination of online and offline "memes" within the context of digital surveillance and censorship. In addition, for the year 2022-2023, she is collaborating with other international artists on a project titled "Fabulation For Future," which will be presented online and in Stuttgart, Germany.
