Yingting Lu’s practice encompasses installations, textile-based soft sculptures, and multimedia paintings exploring how individuals perceive and exist within unstable conditions in contemporary fluid societies. Lu investigates tensions between fluidity and solidity, freedom and control, and visibility and invisibility, while addressing issues of life, labour, and interpersonal relationships and examining illusionary freedoms and meritocratic pressures in modern systems. Liquid Theatre is a multimedia painting exploring the tension between fluidity and stability in contemporary life. Water-like fields of blue and pink diffuse across the surface, layered with personal receipts that gesture to daily consumption and invisible systems of control. A blurred face emerges at the centre, simultaneously appearing and dissolving, reflecting the instability of identity within spectacle-driven structures.
Yiwei Xing is an artist exploring metaphysical experiments in digital aesthetics. Xing has developed a distinctive visual language through self-directed digital painting. Xing believes that in an era dominated by algorithmic visuals, primal instinct remains closer to the essence of art than precise calculation, and the sense of awe once confined to museums should flow into everyday life and street expression. Shan Hai Mythical Beasts reimagines creatures from The Classic of Mountains and Seas (Shan Hai Jing) through digital illustration, merging Chinese mythology with cyberpunk aesthetics. Each image combines ritual symbolism with speculative spatial layering. Mythical forms such as phoenixes and hybrid beasts are digitally revived, resisting algorithmic uniformity and celebrating a techno-spiritual vision of ancient cosmology in contemporary form.
Yimou Huang explores the divergent influences of Chinese Taoism and Western Eco-Feminist thought on contemporary global art. It centres on the material aspects of dynamic forces, such as gravity, wind, and erosion. Huang is particularly interested in transformational processes and their relation to traditional Chinese views on matter, the Taoist notion of emptiness and action-through-inaction, and Eco-Feminist approaches to process, duration, materiality and action. Wandering Ai r explores the transformation of matter under unseen natural forces. Balloons coated with wet clay expand, contract and respond to wind, rain and humidity; the clay then cracks, shrinks and collapses. This process forms a collaboration between human intention and the environment.
Yiran Zhao uses artificial intelligence and scientific data to explore the complex relationship between human activity and the natural environment. By collecting Google satellite imagery and the Global Human Footprint Index from Columbia University, Zhao trains a customised AI model to generate dynamically transforming virtual terrains. These terrains present a composite nature where human traces and natural features overlap. One Thousand and One Miles takes the form of an endlessly extending scroll, continuously generating new terrain images influenced by audience behaviour. Printed segments become observable archives, recording human–nature interactions. Audience presence and actions directly alter the generated terrain, emphasising how human existence inevitably shapes nature.
