Xiaoyu Liu
Currently pursuing MFA Design and Technology in Parsons. I am an interaction & visual designer, artist and creative technologist who loves to merge different media. My works are not constrained by a single form.
An immersive surveilled experience is created by manipulating and constricting people’s movements. By frustrations and irritation, audience may reconsider the omnipresent surveillance in the digital age that can lead to insidiously corrosive impact.
What inspired you to make this project?:
I have been attempting to raise awareness about surveillance by revealing this serious issue in a satirical way. It is like a “joke” hypothesizing the fact that in this world people’s minds are often exposed and quantified by “system”.
