Bio/CV:
Hui Wong is a Film & Media PhD student at UC Berkeley. He has written about reclaimed wastewater, air-conditioning, and eco-art in Singapore.

Hui is broadly interested in: the infrastructure and environmental humanities, cultural techniques, documentaries, eco-horror, psychoanalysis (Lacanian and object relations), theories of affect and desire, the nation and the postcolony, Hegelian phenomenology, and the writings of Georges Bataille.
