Lyn & Mateja
Mateja-
Mateja修讀人類學，研究技術與科學，以及日本文化。她出生並成長於克羅地亞，並在台灣，香港和日本長大。她在香港完成了她的人文博士學位。她不斷探索新的文化和自己。她當過皮划艇導遊與大學講師。她保持自己的多元與開放的態度。在人的感官中，視覺為她帶來最少的刺激。她覺得這很有趣，因為她所修讀的正是視覺機器和材料/視覺文化專業。她喜歡透過所有的感官一起去「觀看」這個世界。
I am a specialist in the anthropology of technology and science, and Japanese culture. Born and raised in Croatia, I grew up and matured in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Japan. I got my Ph.D. in Humanities in Hong Kong, and am continuing to explore new cultures and myself. I worked as a kayaking tour guide and a university lecturer – I keep myself diversified and open-minded. Of the known five senses, vision is probably least exalting for me. It’s funny, because I study visual machines and material/visual culture. I like to “see” the world in a synesthetic way, through all the senses.
Lyn-
Lyn正在牛津大學修讀哲學博士學位，主修東方學。之前她在香港浸會大學研究社會學。她的哲學碩士論文關於性別和性關係，研究情色資本 (erotic capital) 讓她更深刻地理解地當代中國城市中人與人之間的關係，同時她也探索了更多不同的研究領域。她對藝術很感興趣，尤其是公共藝術，包括塗鴉，街頭表演和以社交媒體為基礎的藝術項目。她最近與別人共同創辦了以影視人類學為基礎，名為“whatswoman”的女性主義攝影計劃。
Tang Ling (Lyn) is a currently a Ph.D. student in Oriental Studies at the University of Oxford, after obtaining an M.Phil. in Sociology at Hong Kong Baptist University. Her M.Phil thesis deals with gendered and sexualized guanxi, in which she brings the concept of erotic capital in understanding instrumental interpersonal relationship in urban China. While exploring more fields to research, she is also very interested in art, especially public art including graffiti, street performance and social media based art projects. She has recently co-founded a photography-based visual anthropology feminist art project called "whatswoman".

Mateja:
I don't get very excited about the visual, but there is one work, ukiyo-e, a woodblock print by famous Edo period (1603-1868) artist Katsushika Hokusai that I really like. This is part of my research into Japanese visual culture as well. Pornographic printed pictures were called "shunga" during the Edo period:
