New Digital Design ForumNew Digital Design Forum

Founded and organized in 2021 with Hu Peng and Zhu Yuting. An international design forum bringing post-digital and phygital culture into Chinese-language discourse, prompted by the OOO forum from Global Knowledge Leifeng.

Three online roundtables ran across three evenings in August 2021, each taking one face of the same question — the work, the thinking, and the money. Streamed on VooV, Bilibili and YouTube. A translation and editorial column ran alongside, including Nine Post-Digital Art Strategies.
