ABOUT NANCY LEE

Nancy Lee is a Taiwanese-Canadian interdisciplinary media artist, curator, filmmaker, DJ and cultural producer. Her work stimulates and enlivens space, making a provocative statement about how inescapably interconnected we are with our surroundings. This notion of staging is a constant in Nancy’s work and underpins her projects, from her early work as a more traditional filmmaker, through her conception and planning of live events, and into the realms of XR, new media performance and installation, where her art practices continue to coalesce and evolve. As a music video and experimental film director, her practice is centered around the exploration of choreography and emerging technologies. She recently co-created “Telepresence”, a VR 8-channel surround-sound live performance with Western Front, and “Tidal Traces”, an VR 360 dance film with the National Film Board of Canada.Nancy is a co-producer and co-founder of CURRENT: Feminist Electronic Art Symposium, an intersectional and multidisciplinary initiative featuring artistic and educational programming by women, nonbinary artists and artists of colour. In 2019, CURRENT evolved into a 3-day mentorship program offering emerging cultural producers local internship opportunities. Her films and interdisciplinary works have been presented at Cannes Film Festival, SXSW, MUTEK Japan, Berlin International Film Festival, Vancouver International Jazz Festival, International Symposium on Electronic Art (Vancouver, South Africa and South Korea), and more.Nancy is a Sundance Institute New Frontier Alumni. Currently, Nancy is collaborating with Kiran Bhumber on a speculative-sci fi solo exhibition exploring 3D scanning, 3D printing, XR, and live performance, scheduled for 2021 at the Richmond Art Gallery.
