A graduate of the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), his work has been presented internationally through collaborative projects at institutions including the Van Abbemuseum, the Ian Potter Museum of Art, QUT Art Museum, and REDCAT. Dai is also the founder of the Badam Film, which supports emerging documentary filmmakers.
