oxi peng is a memory being born on the other side of sunset. first captured on 16mm film, a fictional presence among words, symbols, sounds, energies, and touches created by peng.
Penny Yiou Peng (currently based in Berlin with roots from Beijing), previously trained as a pianist and a scholar in cinema studies and philosophy at Smith College, University College of London, Penny recently finished her doctoral research on the “touch”, “transformation” and “interweaving” among various non- and living beings in performative happenings through the lens of critical posthumanism and 萬物 (Wanwu), the myriad happenings, in Daoist cosmologies. She attempts to embody a speculative performance analysis with the vegetal, mineral, algorithmic, spiritual and non-definable bodies, which then eventually causes the difficulty of her own identification: she practices (embodied writing as her alien resistance), creates (fantasy art critiques that bloom like mycelium), and day dreams (of pink tardigrades drifting through cosmic jelly) softly.
oxi is writing its debut bilingual soft-sci-fi-fantasy, on earth in dreams, while Penny works on her scholarly project On the Edge of Performance—both searching for a terrestrial spot to land, or perhaps, to.. d...i.s.s.o.l....v......e.......................

彭憶歐,1990年生於北京。本科畢業於美國史密斯女子學院(Smith College)經濟學與電影研究專業; 碩士畢業於英國倫敦大學學院(University College London)哲學與電影研究專業。博士畢業於柏林自由大學(Free University Berlin)哲學與戲劇學專業。
憶歐主要從事身體冩作和以生態感知爲導向的表演構作和文本翻譯。 她的研究方向涉及道家思想中關於萬物的宇宙論,批判性後人類主義,酷兒生態理論,以及東西方文明在現代化之前的神話傳説以及神秘主義實踐。憶歐的博士論文專注於在表演發生當下不同生物及物理能量的 ‘觸碰’、 ‘異化’ 與 ‘交織’ 過程。她嘗試從非人類中心主義的角度,與植物、微生物、賽伯格、妖怪、外星人及無法定義生/物體一起,建立(奇幻小説般的)的表演分析理論 —後人類表演性(Posthuman Performativity)-- (又或者, Pan-Creatural Performativity 泛靈表演性)。
此刻,憶歐正在懸浮島嶼上構思她的第一部玄幻小說「夜溟洞」,和她第一本海洋精怪詩集「誤入地球」( ૮꒰ ˶• ༝ •˶꒱ა ♡: 如果好奇的話,你可以在這個網站的“夢”裡提前讀到喔~),並嘗試把奇幻之閃爍帶入她所創作的藝術文學評論,以及學術寫作中。
她喜歡收集超能力,和毛茸茸的小動物們一起。如果可以的話,她還想和Agnès Varda跳一支舞。
