Xinyu Kelly Yan is a human geographer from Shanghai practicing time-based media. She makes ambient drones with analog synthesizers, tape, and field recordings, and has performed around Providence, Rhode Island, where she calls her second home. Fascinated by material decay and liminal spaces, he also makes videos and images documenting urban ruination. Her project will be a playful exploration of algorithmic improvisation through touch-activated controllers and movement instructions alongside a multichannel video installation.
