Gerui Wang is an Assistant Professor at Lingnan University, Hong Kong. She studies media, art, and AI, as well as the intersection of art and ecology. Wang leads a digital humanities project: Storytelling with AI, archived by Stanford Libraries. Her first book, Sustaining Landscapes: Governance and Ecology in Chinese Visual Culture, 960-1368 CE (Hong Kong University Press, 2025), has received publication grants from the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation and the Liberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies. The book unveils the rich debates on natural resource management in flourishing landscape imagery and policy documents in pre-industrial China. It illustrates the representations, contestations, and expressions of the tension between economic growth and the long-term well-being of the environment through the lens of visual culture.
Gerui has published in the Journal of Chinese History, AsiaScape: Digital Asia, and Newsletter for International China Studies. Gerui contributes regularly on topics such as AI, media, society, and culture. Her articles appear in Alan Turing Institute’s AI & Arts Forum, Australian National University’s Center on China in the World, Asia Times, The Wire China, South China Morning Post, and Forbes, and have been translated into Chinese, Japanese, and French.
