Huiyi Chen

Huiyi Chen (she/her) is an artist, researcher, writer, and educator working across moving images, performance, and digital technology. Rooted in diasporic experiences and living in-between worlds, her work explores the nuanced interplay between the mundanity of everyday life and the power structures that shape it. She flies a kite to trace the shapes of wind, tastes grass to learn stories of migration and interspecies kinship, and turns the kitchen into an assemblage of sound. She is always becoming.

She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Photography from the University of Southern California (2016), and an MPS degree from the Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) at New York University (2019). Her works have been showcased at IDFA, CPH:DOX, CultureHub, NYC Media Lab, and more. She currently teaches at the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University.
