Jong Pairez is a media artist based between Manila and Tokyo. He is the founder of Civilisation Laboratory (CIV:LAB), a tactical space dedicated to research and design of sustainable and alternative living, a site to engage civilisation and find ways to survive through shared experiences of man-made and eco-disasters. He is interested in understanding topics on Migration, Displacement, Geography and Cross-cultural boundaries. His works use digital and analog technologies that deal with logic and irrationality of space. Pairez is currently working on a durational collaborative research project with foreign migrants and Japanese precariats using radio space as a platform. Since coming to Tokyo he also now categorically considers himself as a foreign migrant worker in the lost decade generation. Pairez just finished his postgraduate thesis at the Graduate School of Global Arts, Tokyo University of the Arts.
