Biography
Vivi (Wei Wei) is a research-based media artist whose practice explores the intersections of interactive technology, immersive storytelling, and digital perception.
Through experimental video, animation, and interactive installations, she investigates how technological mediation transforms human perception and relational structures.Influenced by the Zen Buddhist concept of Interbeing and the Western philosophical framework of Nomadology, Vivi deconstructs and reconfigures relational networks between subjects, examining how digital art redefines human experience, affective connection, and interspecies coexistence across cultural contexts.

Artist Statement
For me, close connection and interaction with others form the indispensable core of my creative practice. In an increasingly digitalized era, these interactions become the way I engage with and understand the world. Through technology, I explore intersections among the self, cross-cultural communities, and non-human life, continually questioning the possibilities and futures of coexistence.
My practice is informed by both Eastern and Western philosophical perspectives. The Zen Buddhist notion of Interbeing reveals an ecology of interdependence, while Deleuze’s Nomadology offers a philosophy of deterritorialized becoming. Building on these frameworks, I seek to deconstruct and reconfigure rhizomatic relationships between subjects—probing the dynamic balance and harmonious coexistence between the individual and the collective, the human and the non-human.
My works span moving images, installations, visual art, and creative writing, integrating RGB lasers, biosensors, experimental film, and interactive technologies. By channeling real-time physiological data from participants to drive the transformation of my works, I render physical space highly responsive—behaving as if it were a living organism.
Across these cross-media experiments, I examine how technology reshapes perception, reconstructs intersubjective interaction, and expands the boundaries of relationships between humans and non-human beings. In this sense, art becomes not a medium of representation but a generative system—one that reimagines the structures of empathy, environment, and coexistence.
