Creative Future Lab

Xuanyi Zhang is a PhD student in Computational Media and Arts (CMA) at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou). With an academic background spanning arts curating at the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute and digital media at Goldsmiths, University of London, his work sits at the intersection of human-computer interaction, critical media studies, and the philosophy of technology. Xuanyi’s research functions as a critical inquiry into the technological objects that permeate contemporary life, treating these systems as vital sites of cultural and social significance. By integrating these interdisciplinary fields, he explores the nuanced relations between humans and the technological environments they inhabit. Currently, he focuses on decoding the mythical impact of technological systems, seeking to bridge the gap between theoretical research and creative practice.
