"Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. "

― Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass

NUUM is a collective of multidisciplinary artists committed to bringing multiple forms together into a total work of art. We work across a broad range of forms including movement, sound, text, visual art and coded rules of interaction.

We examine each form through the lens of an adjacent one by asking some basic questions about sensing and cognition. What do we (not) see? What’s real, what's illusory? How does movement define space? How does stillness define movement? How does language subvert our senses? How do participation and choice craft a narrative that holds the audience in a tighter embrace?

Our work has been supported by Culture Hub, The Movement Lab at Barnard College, MANA Contemporary, MaxMachina, The Center for Ballet and The Arts, The National Endowment for the Arts among others.

We are NiNi Dongnier, Tiri Kananuruk, Nuntinee Tansrisakul, Mimi Yin and Yuguang (YG) Zhang
