Bruce Bo Ding

 

Encouraging everybody to engage in the shaping of our technological future.

 

BIO

Hello, my name is Bruce, and I am an artist/writer/curator/translator/consultant. To wear that many hats sounds a bit strange and confusing (I know), and I’ve lost count on how many times people paused to find the right label when introducing me to new friends. But that’s just how I have been, honestly.

My educational background was political science and law, and I worked as a public program convener at Chronus Art Center and OCT Contemporary Art Terminal. My works have been exhibited or performed at Shanghai Biennale, Power Station of Art, MCAM, Min Sheng Modern Art Museum, Shenzhen Media Art Festival, etc. I write for Artforum China, Fortune Art, Art Ba Ba, Art World and SSPAI.

CV
