Overview
My research interests intend to illuminate employed visual languages of East Asian artists derived from digital and electronic media in order to engage with the everyday reality of life amidst the socioeconomic transformations in late 1990s and 2000s. The research explores the conditions of the society that artists reside in and how induction of new media facilitates the generation of visual languages in the globalized context of art world networks.
