LIU Dao biography | artworks | events

Liu Dao (a Pinyin phrase meaning "island number 6" - Chinese: 六岛) is an international multidisciplinary art collective based in Shanghai, China. Liu Dao was founded in 2007 by island6 Arts center under the direction of French curator Thomas Charvériat and Latvian art director Zane Mellupe. Liu Dao is an electronic art group composed of performance artists, multimedia artists and engineers. As of May 2008, about 15 artists are associated with the Liu Dao collective. Their work focuses on interactive art installations that explore the effects that "technologies have on our perception and modes of communication”. [Eurasia One Rolf A. Kluenter]
The use of technology such as sensors, motion-tracking devices, GPRS modem controlled videos, sonar rangefinders or "Arduino" microcontrollers are utilized to create interactive pieces that challenge current digital interfaces and interactivity solutions and develop new forms of expression through new media technologies. Liu Dao produces interactive installations, electronic art, performance and multimedia shows in Shanghai. The curatorial program reflects new cultural roles for visual and sound art, and the confluence of tradition and technology. Liu Dao challenges convention, encourages collaboration and celebrates the hack. Liu Dao explores the cultural potential in the convergence of art, technology and science, and their discovery is applied toward the benefit of the artist community.

Liu Dao is represented in Beijing by Red Gate Gallery, in Paris by Bridge2 and in Marrakech by Art Continu.
