I am a multidisciplinary visual artist passionate about design, community care, and environmental stewardship. I recently graduated with a B.S. in Interactive Media Arts from NYU’s Shanghai campus. I’ve worked across film, translation, computational design, movement practices and installation, and my current fixation is risograph printing.

HUMAN ○ CIRCUIT

Pairing self-constructed capacitive sensors with Arduino and Processing, HUMAN ￮ CIRCUIT is an interactive installation that encourages people to experience art together through physical touch. Participants join hands with the sensors and become part of the piece while enjoying generative visuals on a screen.






Prior research included inspirations such as Messe Di Voce by Golan Levin, and Manuela Donoso’s Walllight. These projects demonstrate different components of interaction: Levin’s piece invites continued exploration of a certain movement or sound by continuously generating visuals on the screen, while the emphasis of Walllight is to invite multiple participants to interact with the space. Conceptually, my goal for this project was to fuse these two components together, by generating visuals that respond when multiple people join hands with the sensors.
