Hi there, I am Xuanyi Zhang, thank you for visiting my site.
Arts, media, technology, communication and creation are defining terms of my career and research experience.
My first higher-education led me into the arts, humanities, and practices. I have established a systematic perception of the field of contemporary art as well as a broader context of society and culture. More recently, I am focusing on the media and technology studies on its digitalised or computational objects.
Technologies are transforming, representing, and empowering information and contents. A sort of digitalised narrative and structure has become a trans/intra-media presence where the information and contents must be conveyed and processed by networks, algorithms, digital fluxes, databases, peripherals, and so on, before they become words and pictures seen by people on their screens.
I believe creative and critical practices like writing, making, coding, gaming, working, and even experiencing life are feasible ways of approaching the possible the-other-end.
