Chan draws a distinct line between his life as an activist and an artist. He believes that art and politics are different categories that function in different ways. Nevertheless, Chan seems bent on deregulating and unravelling in both worlds. He turns a sceptical eye on every system devised by man to comprehend and contain the world, and is pleasantly addicted to meticulously
dissecting and interrogating religious, philosophical and political views. This is his strategy for creating space for free thought, both in his everyday world and in the domain of art.
