THE ARTIST
Wenxin Zhang was born in 1989 and currently lives in Hangzhou and other places. She received her MFA degree at California College of the Arts in 2013. Zhang utilizes video, CG, photography and installation, as well as combines writing and music to create process-oriented perceptual experience that usually starts from everyday experience as well as technical images and then grows into the continuous mapping on time and transcendence.
