李爽目前居住生活在德国柏林和中国义乌。2014年，她于纽约大学传媒研究专业取得硕士学位。李爽置身于全球性流通系统中，受在地性与不平衡信息流的启发，以行为、网站、装置、影像等形式研究构成当代电子风景的各种媒介，背后的运行基础、物流系统以及两者间的裂痕。她尤其关注媒介连接、进而管控人类身体和欲望所形成的新自由主义范式。在她所探讨的关系中，媒介与使用者、媒介与媒介的互动占据重要地位。

《T》是李爽的四频录像作品，由Eli Osheyack配乐，表演及旁白由Naomi Yu完成。艺术家从“脚”的意象出发，将一名“直男”在淘宝女袜店的客服经历、自述式的絮语回忆、网络暗语与文化象征交织在一起。影片通过碎片化的叙事手法和视觉形式，展现出性别在社会和家庭结构中被赋予的刻板印象和在虚拟场景下的表演性。该影片曾在OCAT上海馆、北京X美术馆、纽约国际工作室与策展计划（ISCP）、成都蓬皮杜艺术中心与毛继鸿基金会、北京泰康空间中展出。（点击文末阅读原文观看李爽的作品《T》）

Li Shuang received her MA in media studies from New York University in 2014. She currently lives and works in Berlin, Germany and Yiwu, China. Situated in globalized communication systems and inspired by various localities and uneven information flows, Li’s work, which encompass performance, interactive websites, sculpture and moving image installations, studies various mediums composing the contemporary digital landscape. Crucial to this practice is the interaction between the medium and its users as well as amongst the mediums themselves. These diverse forms of intimacy form a motif that runs through the artists practice, as she explores how various forms of technology bring us into contact, and how they form part of a neoliberal apparatus that regulates the body and desire. Yet her focus is not limited to the virtual, but also includes the material lives of those digital landscapes, such as the infrastructure and logistics systems that support it, and more importantly, the cracks in between. 

‘T’ is a 4-channel video, with music by Eli Osheyack, performance and voiceover by Naomi Yu. Taking imagery of feet as a starting point, Li subtly interweaves the experience of a customer service representative (positioned as a straight, cis male) of a Taobao women’s socks online retailer, with reminiscent self-narrations, internet slangs, and cultural symbols. Through the non-linear narratives and fragmented visuals, the film exposes the stereotypes imposed onto sexuality within the familial and social constructs, and its performativity in a virtual, suppositional world. This film was exhibited at OCAT Shanghai, X Museum, Beijing, International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP), New York in 2020; Centre Pompidou in collaboration w/ Mao Jihong Foundation, Chengdu, Taikang Space, Beijing in 2018. (Click Read More to watch Li Shuang's work 'T')
