Jen Liu is a New York-based visual artist working in video, painting, biomaterial, programming, and performance, looking at histories of labor, diasporic Asian identities, and the ways in which technology features in both. Her most recently completed body of work, Pink Slime Caesar Shift, centered stories of political resistance, and was built on a proposal to use the domestic food distribution network in China as a covert information network for labor activists. Liu worked with biologists to genetically alter beef cells to store encrypted texts on labor and protest, then preserve these cells in sculptures. She also used the materials and methods of genetic engineering as conceptual starting points for hybrid films, paintings on paper, and performances. Liu’s current body of work, Future Perfect 888666, is structured on the fluidity of elemental mercury, in which various histories of invisible labor converge – Chinese American sex workers in the 19th century, AI microlaborers, and xenobots. In this project she continues to collage together nonfiction texts to reveal the underlying dreamlike logic of entanglement capitalism. She is a recent recipient of the Creative Capital Grant, LACMA Art + Technology Lab, Guggenheim Fellowship in Film/Video, \Art Award from Cornell Tech, Anonymous Was a Woman Award, and Hewlett 50 Arts Commission in Media Performance.
