I'm Jing. I'm a curator, writer, strategist and producer. I work as a cultural instigator, finding new formats, understandings and alliances for creative practices.
❍
I previously co-ran ARTBIZTECH, a strategy + innovation consultancy and incubator focused on extending artistic research to the worlds of business and tech. I also curated BANG. PRIX, a programme supporting interdisciplinary practitioners. I'm involved with KERNEL as a Guide and am a Y9 NEW INC Mentor.
Currently building: OUTLYR-E

I think about art as technology, in the sense of an extension of the human; my approach to technology is one that explores its epistemological affordances beyond the habits of the tech sector.
