Hui Wong

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. Their current research concerns infrastructural disasters, postcolonial modernity, subjectivity, mediation, genre, and narrative, asking: how does the collapse of large technical systems orient social-psychic-political worlds?

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.

Hui received a BMS (Bachelor of Media Studies) with a minor in English literature from the University of British Columbia, followed by an MA in Communication Studies from McGill University.
