Underground Circuit
SEETIES Born in Beijing and now based in Chicago, two metropolises that constantly inspire her work. She is Yuge Zhou, visual artist and curator at 150 Media Stream. Through video collages and sculptural video installations she portrays ‘urban dispositions’ and explores the complex interactions between humans and their environment.
