Shu Lea Cheang is an artist and filmmaker who engages in genre-bending gender-hacking art practices. Celebrated as a net art pioneer with BRANDON (1998-1999), the first web art commissioned and collected by the Guggenheim Museum, New York, Cheang represented Taiwan with the mixed media installation, 3x3x6, at the Venice Biennale in 2019. Crafting her own genre of Sci-Fi New Queer Cinema, she has made four feature films: FRESH KILL (1994), I.K.U. (2000), FLUIDø (2017) and UKI (2023). In 2024, she received the LG Guggenheim Art and Technology Award. She is currently at work on an updated survey show at Haus der Kunst, Munich, in early 2025.
