Linda Chiu-han Lai is a Hong Kong-based interdisciplinary artist working at the intersections of experimental moving images, the history of everyday life and media archaeology, an extension of her Ph.D. in Cinema Studies (NYU). Associate professor at the School of Creative Media at the City University of Hong Kong, she founded the new media research group Writing Machine Collective (2004- ), and the experimental art space Floating Projects (2015- ).

As a montage artist, she considers images to be intensely rich perceptual surfaces that defy the binary division of representation and abstraction. Her videography has been shown in key international venues, including the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen, Open City London Documentary Festival, LOOP Barcelona, Rencontres Internationales (Paris, France and Berlin), Jihlava International Documentary Film Festival, Traverse Video (Toulouse), Times Art Centre Berlin, Women Make Waves Film Festival Taipei and many others. She was featured in solo screenings at Experimental Film/Video Festivals in Seoul (EXiS, 2017) and Macao (EXiM, 2016). Her works have been collected by the Power Station (Shanghai Biennale) and M+ Museum (Hong Kong).
