Conrad Cheung is an artist whose practice couples transdisciplinary, collaborative, and ethnographic processes with wide-ranging artistic methods and media to address various urgencies, including post-truth and related crises of knowledge, the empathic and affective demands of democracy, crises of public space and commons, and most recently, sustainability in the face of multispecies extinction. Cheung’s work spans installation, performance, VR, cyberintervention, and more, and they collaborate regularly with practitioners across creative and academic disciplines.
