Focus area: Augmented Reality
I am a creative researcher and new media artist, originally from China and based in the Netherlands. I am particularly interested in the creative possibilities of emerging (digital) technologies for expression and communication, as well as how they shape and mediate our embodied and social realities. With a multidisciplinary background spanning physics, human-computer interaction and new media art, I like to take and combine insights and approaches from different disciplines to explore questions and phenomena that trigger my curiosity. As an artist, I often create interactive installations and participatory performances through the medium of code, sound, movement and text, where the active participation of the audience is integral.
