NICK DONG

Nick Dong 董承濂 is a conceptual metalsmith, mixed-media sculptor, and socio-commodity engineer. From a multidisciplinary maker/craftsman practice he founded studioDONG, and leads a team to produce experiential sculptures, objects, and installations combine an advanced knowledge of materials and techniques with a goal of engaging an audience’s experience beyond the optical.

As a Taiwanese-American, Dong identifies himself as a 21st-century continuation of Wen-ren 文 人, the Chinese cultural lineage of intellect-scholars, in which each work is a quest of self- evolution, a vehicle of sharing philosophy.

By carefully integrating scientific and handcrafted components, supernatural movements, light, sound, and various interactive or situational strategies, Nick’s work produces a fully immersive event, only complete once a viewer steps into the space and an encounter is initiated.
