Luyang Zou is a new media artist and former architect whose practice investigates computational processes, material strategies, and spatial construction to forge narratives.
Beginning with coding and digital modelling, he manifests his ideas through a fluid technological framework, selecting specific mediums—whether industrial materials or ephemeral elements like light and sound—solely for their capacity to articulate the work’s narrative.
Within the accelerated conditions of the digital age, his research-driven practice reorients subjective perception toward slower, deliberate modes of experience. By deliberately employing the very technologies that hasten our lives, his work articulates a critical, counter-digital approach to the elasticity of time.
