5G Hotspot
About this Event
Following the intuitions of their essayistic approach to art, Per°Form CoThink Lab Fellow Wong Binghao (Bing) will read composited excerpts from research essays that they have written in the past decade. This material will sediment into its primary object: 5G Bing, an Internet grimoire that compiles wayward and extravagant ideas, writing, aesthetics, and cultural criticism, edited and creative directed by Bing. Part magazine, mood board, PR campaign, journal, research dossier, and archive, 5G Bing is a growing network of collaborations and conversations that have been jointly enabled by digital and curatorial technologies. The project accrues from and further annotates 7 years of discursive projects by Bing that locate the stakes of the curatorial in non-exhibitionary forms.
About the Wong Binghao (Bing)
Wong Binghao (Bing) approaches art essayistically, as eclectic constellations of practice, research, and lived experience. They work with artists and thinkers to create discursive curatorial projects including publications, digital, public, research, and educational programs, performance and live events, creative direction, international exchange and residency programs, and exhibitions.
They are invested in developing rigorous and original research around contemporary art practices, specifically in relation to transfeminist approaches to gender, sex, love, popular cultures, new media and technology, anthropology, and area studies. They have recently written essays and profiles for Dan Lie, Sandra Mujinga, WangShui, Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley, Mire Lee, Sriwhana Spong, Kang Seung Lee, Lap-See Lam, Sin Wai Kin, Guo-Liang Tan, Ming Wong, and documenta15, among others. They are currently editor of global reviews for Performance Art Museum, and are editing book projects in Singapore and Vietnam.
From 2023–2024, with Jeannine Tang, they convened two research programs on trans* and Asian/diasporic approaches to publishing, hosted by Asia Art Archive in America, and were visiting speaker and curator at Taipei Dangdai. Since 2023, they have served on the advisory committee for the research project The Flow of History: Southeast Asian Women Artists, co-organised by Asia Art Archive and AWARE. In 2024, they were part of the pre-selection committee for the Visual Sphere of Practice for Akademie Schloss Solitude, and were awarded an Individual Fellowship Grant by the Asian Cultural Council.
They have seven years of institutional experience across curatorial, publishing, and program departments, including as C-MAP Asia Fellow for the Museum of Modern Art, New York from 2020–2023.

About Per°Form
Per°Form is conceptualised and led by T:>Works Artistic Director, Dr. Ong Keng Sen. This fellowship platform began in March 2021 through the format of digital keynotes by Singapore Fellows.
With Per°Form, T:>Works aims to cut across silos, disciplines, and fields to support contextualised research, situated practices, and translocal knowledge production as shared resources for the future. In particular, Per°Form focuses on the arts practitioner as a thought leader engaged in care and repair, actively bridging histories, the precarious present, and world-creating.
