About YUQI WANG
Yuqi Wang (b. 2000, Shanghai, China) is a multimedia artist, filmmaker, and writer. She holds a degree in Fine Art Mixed Media from the University of Westminster. Since adolescence, she has lived in Hong Kong, Singapore, France, and the United States, cultivating a cross-cultural perspective and a pluralist aesthetic orientation. Her research-led, transdisciplinary practice spans experimental film, still and moving image, installation, and hybrid narrative forms.
Conceptually, Wang investigates the ontological and ethical stakes of existence and free will; the relation between the subject and its ‘factory settings’: the given parameters of heredity, socialization, and technology; and the liminal boundaries between the real and the simulated, and the individual and the world.
Methodologically, she mobilizes polycentric storytelling and distributed viewing structures to decenter authorial control and to examine how algorithmic spectatorship produces, regulates, and redistributes subjectivity. Placing Eastern and Western philosophies and religious traditions in contrapuntal dialogue with contemporary technological contexts, she advances a practice-based inquiry that translates trauma, desire, and lived experience into image and space, thereby constructing a meta-experimental arena for reflection on existence, freedom, and fate.
