Following the intuitions of their essayistic approach to art, Per°Form CoThink Lab Fellow Wong Binghao (Bing) will read composited excerpts from research essays that they have written in the past decade. This material will sediment into its primary object: 5G Bing, an Internet grimoire that compiles wayward and extravagant ideas, writing, aesthetics, and cultural criticism, edited and creative directed by Bing. Part magazine, mood board, PR campaign, journal, research dossier, and archive, 5G Bing is a growing network of collaborations and conversations that have been jointly enabled by digital and curatorial technologies. The project accrues from and further annotates 7 years of discursive projects by Bing that locate the stakes of the curatorial in non-exhibitionary forms.

Binghao (Bing) (they/them) approaches art essayistically, as eclectic constellations of practice, research, and lived experience. They apply this modality to create essays and discursive projects including publications, digital, public, research, and educational programs, performance and live events, creative direction, and international exchange and residency programs. They are invested in developing rigorous and original research around contemporary art practices, specifically in relation to transfeminist approaches to gender, sex, love, popular cultures, new media and technology, anthropology, and area studies.
