About the Artist:

Yimei(Emair) Zhu is an interdisciplinary artist with a passion for Senses, Posthumanism, and Perspective Transformation. She holds an MFA in Art and Technology Studies from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and obtained her BFA in Experimental Art from the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, China. Her work explores deficiencies and imperfections from an unconventional perspective. She invites viewers to see limits not as limitations but as unique modes of experiencing the world.

Art, in Emair’s view, is a powerful means to tackle complex challenges, creating connections across various disciplines. Employing a broad spectrum of media, from traditional writing and imagery to the avant-garde realms of coding, interactive installations, game design, theater and bio-art, her goal is to upend conventional narratives and use art as a catalyst for understanding and innovation.

Emair’s vision propels art beyond simple expression. It’s about forging new ways of sensing, feeling, and interacting with our world by integrating technology with our corporeal existence. She aims to provide a possibility—to further explore a new world we have never envisioned before or rediscover the senses we have forgotten.

Yimei’s work has been exhibited at Hua Art Museum in Shenzhen, Taoxichuan Museum of Art, CSI Project Space, Epiphany Center in Chicago, Las Laguna Art Gallery, Design Museum of Chicago, Yeiser Art Center, and many others around the world.
