Eva Lu

Eva is a PhD student in the Art History and Visual Culture program at York University. She holds a BA in Visual Arts and Philosophy from the University of Western Ontario, and an MA in Modern Art from Columbia University.

Her primary research is on contemporary conceptual art and artists of East Asian descent. Currently, her work is on the use of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence by East Asian diasporic artists as a departure from traditional Eastern forms and media. She is interested in the epistemological and ontological challenges that arise from these new kinds of conceptual art and consequently the implications for global institutional collecting, the construction of identity, and more broadly East Asian visuality.
