ABOUT ME

Hi,i am XIAOMIN, a lecturer at Shenzhen Technology University.
My research focuses on the intersection of art and technology, particularly natural interaction, sensory experience, and digital media art. I have led several collaboration projects and artworks in the Netherlands, Singapore, and Shenzhen. I aim to further explore human-machine relations and future expressions of digital art.

1. SPECTRUM

/Interactive Installation
/Audio Detection
/Artificial Intelligent
/Robotic Arms
/Magnetic Powder

is an immersive dynamic installation exploring cross-dimensional communication between future beings and humans. By interacting with the work, the audience activates the NOEMA system—a visualized language of consciousness—to receive unique responses. These symbols transcend linguistic logic, constructing a new form of exchange beyond human frameworks and prompting reflection on future life forms and the evolution of consciousness.

2. RESONANCE

/EEG Technology
/Kinectic Installation
/Cross-discipline Media Performance

is based on EEG technology, using a head-mounted device to collect participants’ brainwave signals—such as attention levels and emotional fluctuations—and converting them in real time into digital instructions that drive mechanical movement. These invisible cognitive activities are thus transformed into visible, dynamic mechanical behaviors.

Inspired by bionic organisms, the form of the installation draws on imagined post-human mechanical lifeforms, with its mechanical tentacles exhibiting lifelike movement that blurs the line between the organic and the artificial.

3. ECHOES IN THE CRACKS

/Audio Visual
/Cross-discipline Media Performance

Collecting materials in the city is an exploration full of chance and uncertainty. This project begins with the percussionist Shi Yi’s sound, tracing its ephemeral path to reveal fleeting moments of coexistence between people and the city. Through the perception of “traces, collectives, and settlements,” sound and image resonate to form a symbiotic field across time and space.
