Artistic Statement

        Wantong Lyu's artistic creations are deeply entrenched in a fertile ground of personal experiences and thoughts. With each passing day, her interactions with individuals from a myriad of fields and cultural backgrounds fuel her reevaluation of cultural realms and her introspection on others' perceptions of her cultural background. These encounters and reflections are cleverly woven into her art, culminating in a distinct artistic voice.

        Specializing in Art and Technology Design, Lyu exhibits a keen interest in designing physically interactive Virtual Reality (VR) experiences. Her VR projects often feature a cyberpunk aesthetic, merging her personal memories with her designs. This approach not only probes the synthesis of contemporary and traditional cultures but also offers a novel interpretation of modern technology. Her portfolio, encompassing both tangible 3D creations and digital compositions, is heavily infused with elements emblematic of traditional Chinese style. This signature aesthetic, combined with her mastery of multiple technological disciplines, underscores the diversity and experimental essence of her work.

        Throughout her creative journey, Lyu utilizes a variety of technological techniques including Arduino programming, web design, user interface and user experience design, plaster modeling, and acrylic laser cutting. The integration of these technologies not only reflects her multidisciplinary prowess but also ensures that her works offer a distinct visual and sensory experience. Lyu is convinced that her artistic endeavors can forge a connection between tradition and modernity, art and technology, paving the way for a more expansive exploration of creativity.
