Weiran Yao (Eiro Yao) is a multidisciplinary new media artist based in London, originally from China.
Bio
Weiran’s works cover a wide range of forms, varying from digital painting, VFX, 3D animation, short films, and mixed reality to video games and music production.
Storytelling and audience immersion play important roles in her creations. She has cultivated interests mainly on researching the political nature issues related to identity recognition and construction, especially under a community-based context; crisis of de-subjectivity under the development of technological media, symbiosis between human and nature, as well as inter-human intimacy and surveillance.
With curiosity, creativity, empathy and attitude, she has developed systemic capacity to express their ideas and put inspirations into practice via trans-media methods.
