1991年生于中国新疆,是一位艺术家和工程师,毕业于清华大学精密仪器与机械学专业,在麻省理工媒体实验室获得硕士学位,在罗德岛设计学院获得纯艺术硕士学位。目前担任麻省媒体实验室太空探索计划的艺术策划人。2019秋季起,她作为SETI驻地艺术家进行对于水体的极地研究。在她的实践里,体验亦实验——在后形而上的世界里,测量个体,社会和技术之间的距离和张力。现工作生活于伦敦。


Born in Xinjiang, China in 1991, she is an artist and engineer. She graduated from Tsinghua University majoring in precision instruments and mechanics, received a master's degree from the MIT Media Laboratory, and a master's degree in fine arts from the Rhode Island School of Design. Currently serves as Artistic Curator of the Space Exploration Program at the Massachusetts Media Lab. Since the fall of 2019, she has been a SETI resident artist conducting polar research on water bodies. In her practice, experience is also experimentation - measuring the distance and tension between individuals, society and technology in a post-metaphysical world. Currently working and living in London.
