lololol is a boundless laughter, an endless extension of lol (laugh out loud), an acronym that appears to be constructed by the building blocks of I-Ching and/or computer code. Founded by Sheryl Cheung and Xia Lin in 2013, the artist duo focuses on how emotions and body politics are informed by diverse technology cultures, with special interest in martial arts, materialist ontologies and perceptual impacts of technology on contemporary life, examining body philosophy, and the cognitive processes and progressions between humans and machines. This has led to a unique interpretation of Asian philosophy, mind-body practices as an alternative approach to technological exploration.
In 2020, lololol initiated art project Future Tao which focuses on the cultivation of energies, power relations, and attunement methodologies through embodied performance. With an emphasis on unraveling the complex relationship between technological things, nature, and human beings, the project draws from Taoist approaches to good living in order to navigate the mind and body politics that we live in everyday.
