Morgan Wong was born in Hong Kong in 1984. He focuses on durational performance and temporality with pieces ranging from performance, video, installations to works on paper. Previously based in Beijing and London, Wong currently works in Hong Kong. Sensitively investing Chinese culture in the twenty-first century, he exploits the language of technology and interactive media to encourage active engagement with the artist’s thoughts. One of Wong’s first interactive installations, Alliance (2007), was exhibited at Videotage, a non-profit Hong Kong space that specializes in media and video art. It went on to win an award at the 13th Hong Kong Independent Short Film and Video Awards in 2008.
