He is also co-editor and designer of a quarterly print magazine INDEX, publisher at Rote Press, an artist-run independent imprint for open-source print and other media, a member and Hybrid Practice alum of NEW INC, and a fellow of the Royal Society of the Arts.

Formally trained in computer science and music, his work includes objects, systems, interfaces, and actions that explore the boundaries between instruction and improvisation, control and chaos, to art and commerce.

His work spans an array of interconnected materials and techniques developed from art and commercial practices, combining installation, interactive, print, and traditional fine art media, using computational methods to generate artifacts that welcome recursive feedback, chance, and emergent outcomes.

An American born from Chinese immigrant parents in Vietnam and Malaysia, he creates structures that frequently question, embody, and repurpose elements of the systemic in identity, labor, and power.

His work has been shown internationally, including at the Guggenheim Museum and La MaMa Experimental Theater Club in New York City, Mercat de les Flors in Barcelona, and the Istanbul Contemporary Art.
