Shu Lea Cheang, once a New York based media installation artist/filmmaker,
is now living a digitalized version of a drifter.

Her video installations, structured to activate cross-cultural collaboration,

(1991, Capp Street Project, San Francisco), Those Fluttering Objects of Desire (1992, Exit Art, NYC,

International Film Festival (1994) and included in the Whitney Museum Biennale Exhibition (1995).

Bowling Alley (1995, Walker Art Center, Minneapolis) net-links a local bowling lane with
the Walker Art Center's gallery space and a cyber-bowl site (http://bowlingalley.walkerart.org);
Elephant Cage Butterfly Locker (1996, Atopic Site Exhibition, Tokyo, sponsored by Tokyo
Government on Public Art), reverts radar detect on Okinawa's US military base.

Buy One Get One (1997, awarded 2nd prize and permanent collection, NTT/ICC Biennale,
Tokyo; part of the 2nd Johannesburg Biennale special project), locates net-access in Africa and
Asia with a bento digi-suitcase. http://www.ntticc.or.jp/HoME
