Shu-Lea Cheang, has restyled herself as a global citizen. In this position she intends to speak to the world with a different voice. As an Asian-American female artist, Shu-Lea Cheang concerns herself with situation of the minority. Her ethnicity and identity therefore leads us to consider her work from a totally different aspect. Artists of this background are capable of raising the issues of race, sex, and identification within Internet art, recognized as it is as a western technology, finding their own virtual life in relation to their cross-national and cross-cultural experiences. As their work has become known, their movement has entered the artistic vocabulary with the body movements involved becoming a subject in Internet virtual art. Therefore, this paper focuses on Shu-Lea Cheang's art works from the twenty-first century, the IKU series in 2000 and the Baby Play in 2001-06; to confer the issue of body construction raised by her status as an Asian female from the experience of the body's movement in Internet art, as well as associated experiences initiated by body-roaming and culture-crossing. Shu-Lea Cheang provided another kind of identification as a western 'other'. Thus, this paper will focus on applying the aspect of the nomadic style that is introducing her work to other Asian countries such as Japan, and other European countries, for example, Denmark and Holland; the correlation of the post-human body, with time and space, in her self-experience and how she connects these waves in cyberspace. |
