Bio
I am a terrestrial artist and creative technologist based in New York. My art practice weaves through the intricate interrelations between humans and the Earth. We step on the land, walk on the ground, bound by the gravity, breathe the air, yet our view often floats in midair. We thrive on the Earth but rarely enfold it into our identity. I am interested in how we perceive the Earth and how these perceptions shape our interactions with it. My work engages technology to create multimedia installations that dissolve the boundaries between us and the Earth, and render our sensitivity to the existence of other ways of living.
In the context of climate change and ecological crisis, our world and society are filled with horror and worry. I seek to create art that navigates the tension more into care and hope, how we might rediscover love and empathy with Earth and all things around us amid a time of uncertainty, loss, and transformation.
My practice spans new media forms, such as websites, sound projects, and interactive installations, offering poetic encounters with the Earth including organisms and inorganic copartners. I use technology to blend reality with perception, to express through both logic and emotion, to see the world from both science and intuition.
I am a receipt of Judson-Morrissey Excellence in New Media Award and Tisch Initiative of Creative Research Fellowship. My work has been exhibited at Emergence Festival in Rotterdam, BioBAT Art Space in Brooklyn, :iidrr Gallery in New York, Bobst Library at New York University, #CreateCOP28, The Wrong Biennale, New Media Caucus, Shoreditch Arts Club in London, and among others. I’m also a member of Femmes Designer, and my work has been featured in the 28th International Symposium on Electronic Art.
I hold a BSc in Geology from Yunnan University, an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute, and an MPS from the Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) at NYU Tisch School of the Arts.
