His public murals are shown in Atlantic City [1] [2] [3] and Melbourne, [4] and he has held painting exhibitions in Melbourne, Shanghai [5] and New York, [6] focusing on human subjects, streetscapes, and audience-submitted imagery. [7] [8] [9] Chu's 2013 debut solo show exhibited specimens of his own dandruff [10] and in 2019 he undertook the Q Bank Gallery Residency in Queenstown, Tasmania. [11] In contributions to scientific research, Chu has co-authored papers in journals such as Nature (journal), [12] Cognition (journal), [13] the International Committee on Computational Linguistics Conference, [14] the Association for Computing Machinery's Creativity and Cognition Conference, [15] and the Association for Computational Linguistics.
