American Artist

b. 1989, Altadena, CA. Lives and works in New York, NY. 2015 MFA, Parsons School of Design, New York, NY.

"American Artist investigates histories of race and technology across media. From smashed iPhones and oozing computer peripherals to fictionalized police dashcam footage and interventions into museum websites, Artist’s work refuses the claimed neutrality of digitally networked systems to reveal how racial biases and anti-blackness are designed to be replicated and repeated through soft and hard wares. By pushing disciplinary boundaries, Artist's interventions reveal the slippery interface between digital and physical life, exposing parallels between technological and social programming and how they are inextricably linked and engender each other."

Yuchen Chang

b. 1989, China. Lives and works in New York, NY. 2013 MFA, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL.

"Yuchen Chang creates systems and encounters that reconsider the entanglements of labor and value. Her work is methodical and intimate, with a commitment to hand and craft-based practices and media. The traces of her hand have extended from patched and sewn assemblages of fabric-turned-garments to an alphabet made from delicate and precise portraits of coral. Chang’s projects are also invitations into poetic transactions that challenge existing economies, from the flows of commodities to the exchange of meaning and words in language."

Huidi Xiang

b. 1995, Chengdu, China. Lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. 2021 MFA, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA. 2018 BA, Rice University, Houston, TX.

"Huidi Xiang makes playful sculptures and installations. Her work can be cute, digital, and deeply ironic. Curved edges, colorful printed wood, and many motors and wheels are some components of Xiang’s work that bring a mischievous bend to her architectural thinking. Borrowing elements from video games and game consoles, Xiang’s clever installations turn the logic of systems and space inside out, creating a place for the on and off-line, the absurd and the logical, to work (and play) together."
