Wa Liu (b. 1994) is a multimedia artist who works in video, painting, interactive installation and VR. She explores the porous boundaries and power dynamics among humans, nature and technology, while creating riveting and multisensory experiences. She received her B.A. in Anthropology and Art with distinction from Yale University, M.S. in Art, Culture and Technology from MIT, and is currently based in New York and Beijing. Through a multispecies lens, her research-based video works examine how human ambitions, technologies and geopolitics have shaped our planet and our future. Her paintings, surreal and suspenseful, intimately capture the tension and symbiosis between humans and nonhumans amid the climate crisis. Inspired by neuroscience and posthumanism, her brainwave interactive installations reimagine human agency in an era when our longings and emotions are predicted and affected by technologies.<\/p>\n
