Chris Giang (exteeng) is a multimedia artist, DJ, and data scientist based in Oakland, CA. Her sonic practice explores the tenderness embedded in the terrain of the ordinary, infusing it with a spirit of experimentation and deconstruction. By fragmenting and reassembling pop culture, she reshapes the familiar into something deeply personal—an expression of the heart. Her live sets form part of a larger sensory practice that intertwines tea, flowers, incense, and handmade ceramics, culminating in immersive tea ceremonies presented at exhibitions and in collaboration with other artists.
Chris is a resident artist and event producer at B4BEL4B, and a member of the Bread SF collective. She frequently performs with local crews such as Fake & Gay, Squish SF, and Generaiderz, and has brought her sound to stages including Boiler Room San Francisco and international venues in Taipei, Seoul, Vancouver, and Hong Kong. Her mixes—featured on NTS, HKCR, IPR, and TCR—can be found on her Soundcloud. (soundcloud.com/exteeng)
In parallel to her audio-visual work, Chris has developed an idol concept around her albino Pekingese, Falkor—a growing creative entity inspired by K-pop culture and digital celebrity. Through Falkor, she explores themes of identity, projection, and influence, expanding his presence as both muse and multimedia persona with his own broader artistic universe.
