Vancouver-based interdisciplinary artist Sammy Chien has always challenged himself. His performances often tackle stereotypes of Asian masculinity that he witnessed on TV growing up. But for the show he's developing right now, Chien is using dance to confront something else: technology.

In the video above made by filmmaker Michelle Kee, Chien explains how he's using software to create a new relationship between movement, bodies and technology — which is all culminating in a performance he hopes challenges the audience in new ways. "It's not going to be easy to watch," he says. "It's not going to be something you can sit back and just enjoy, because that's entertainment."
