Biography
Miao Wang (he/him) is interested in various kinds of media technologies, such as editing tables/software, film projectors, and AI-generated cover songs. Generally speaking, he adopts a post-hermeneutic approach and investigates the extent to which material specificities of media underlie our sociopolitical order. He is working on a project that unpacks cinema as a technology-intensive aesthetic form and explores how film equipment has profoundly shaped Chinese film culture and aesthetics in the (post-)socialist era.
