Hui Wong is an MA Communication Studies student working under the co-supervision of Dr. Bobby Benedicto and Dr. Darin Barney.
Hui's MA thesis project stages an encounter between the infrastructural turn in media studies (and the humanities more broadly), the divided or split subject, and the affectively "base" infrastructural object. These readings are grounded in public art and infrastructure in Singapore. Hui's research interests draw on the field of questions posed by the infrastructure and energy humanities, especially those that relate to subjectivity (and its objects), relationality (and separation), nationalist projects, nature, and materialism. His approach to these questions are informed by psychoanalytic theory, Canadian and German media theory, postcolonial studies, and the work of Georges Bataille.听Hui holds a Bachelor's degree in Media Studies, with a minor in English literature, from the University of British Columbia. His research at 污污草莓视频 is supported by an FRQSC Master's Research Award.
