Wang Yuyang
Wang Yuyang (b. 1979) is a renowned contemporary Chinese artist currently teaching at the Central Academy of Fine Arts.
Focused on techno-art, his work explores the relationships between technology and art, nature and artificiality, material and immaterial, employing an interdisciplinary and multimedia approach. Wang's portfolio spans various fields such as artificial intelligence, genetic engineering, digital media, and mechanical devices. Utilizing computer programming, algorithmic generation, and data visualization, he creates dynamically changing and interactive art forms. Wang Yuyang's pieces not only reflect a critical examination of technological development but also brim with imaginative visions of the future, often presenting an unpredictable aesthetic challenging viewers' inherent perceptions. As an artist consistently innovating and pushing boundaries, Wang Yuyang has used technology to offer new possibilities to art, expanding the perspectives and expressions of techno-art with significant societal and cultural impact.
