History

[edit]

Originally, the collective came together to explore the work of artists of East, South and South East Asian artists across the English-speaking diaspora in the United States and Australia.[6] The group has since grown to represent and work with artists across Asia and pair Asians artists working between Asia and those working in the west.[7][5]

Many of the group’s early projects engaged issues of diaspora identity, such as participating in the art exhibition 'In Search of Miss Ruthless' at Para Site, Hong Kong,[8] the short film[9] ‘Fire Cock’ by visual artist Andrew Thomas Huang with a soundtrack by musician Organ Tapes, the bootleg compilations Karaoke Vol. 1 and Karaoke Vol. 2, which remixes popular Asian karaoke songs, and a “micro-grant” from online magazine Rhizome (organization) to document early Chinese-American net imagery.[10]

The collective host a monthly online radio show on the Mexico-based station Internet Public Radio. The show was previously aired monthly on London online radio station Radar Radio.
