Chris Giang (exteeng) is a multimedia artist, DJ and data scientist based in Oakland, CA. Her soundscape work seeks to unearth a tenderness hidden in the terrain of the ordinary. Infusing it with the ethos of experimentation and deconstruction, she crushes pop culture and interrupts its form, refiguring it into an expression of the heart. Her live sets are an audial component of a larger sensory practice which connects forms of tea, flowers, and incense through  handmade ceramics. She uses her wares to conduct tea ceremonies at her own exhibitions and in tandem with the work of other collaborators. Integrating other components of her art practice, she attempts to create more immersive and intimate experiences outside of the typical club context.

She is a resident artist/event producer at B4BEL4B, and is under the music collective Bread SF. As a local performer, she is frequently in shows with Fake and Gay, Squish SF, and Queerbait. Over the past few years she has played Boiler Room in San Francisco, as well as internationally in Taipei, Seoul, Vancouver and Hong Kong. She has produced mixes for NTS, Hong Kong Community Radio (HKCR), Internet Public Radio (IPR), and Taipei Community Radio (TCR) that can be found on her Soundcloud. (soundcloud.com/exteeng)
