A structural version:

LYW (b.2003, Shenyang) is a formalist of time. Their practice as a relation-led inquiry concerns with transitions between sovereignty.  


Deeply influenced by the Argentine laboratory, Loren’s methodology aligns with the critical engagement of revolutionary ‘potencia’ in Colectivo Situaciones‘s writing.


“Militant research does not have an object. We are conscious of the paradoxical character of this statement – if there is research, something is being researched; if there is nothing to do research on, how can we talk about research? – and, at the same time, we are convinced that this character is precisely what gives potencia to the investigation. In fact, to do research without objectualizing already implies abandoning the usual image of the researcher, to which the researcher-militant aspires.” 
-- On the Researcher-Militant (2003)

They currently live in Los Angeles with their dog/collaborator and working on triangulation.



a poetic version:

Thin line between abolition and death. There’s history that cannot be told and conversation that cannot happen. We who try to survive together. Artists are collaborators with monad fragmented, intermingled and guided by the unknown, operates on the ground, joint hand with the temporal interference between Deep time, Present, and Speculation.

Shock waves are sent from the epicenters to echo throughout the body of the earth, on the immense geological scale we indeed are reaching a planetary consciousness of the unfolding destruction, on a smaller sentient scale mediation is ceaselessly performed as an aid to feel vibrations passing through our body and psyche.

Walking, dwelling, hanging out with hyper sensitivity and tension. A humming unstableness.

Matter to matter, permeating such liberating paranoia.
