By utilizing video, sound, computer-based media, and installation, Lisha Nie creates non-linear and non-linguistic ways of storytelling. Digital production is a recurrent foreground in Lisha’s work, in which she critically examines its usage and circulation in the power systems and daily life. Thriving from personal history and contemporary environments, her recent works explore the relationship between individual and collective in technologically mediated society from the perspectives of totalitarianism and late capitalism, as well as their existential impacts.
