Biografia
Guang Zhu is an artist and she plays the piano. Her works are inspired by her creative experiences, her research into the history of mathematics and the explorations on parametric equations. She works with formulas and code to create whimsical abstract simulations that attempt to communicate from her mystic imaginations. She is fascinated by the artificial movement of mathematical visualizations and curious to explore what metaphysical understandings objects of art can offer in the embodiment of mathematical symbols and computational processes.
Her Master's thesis "An Aquarium of Equations" has received a grant from the Lower Manhattan Culture Council in 2013, and its accompanying research paper "The Parametric Courante" was published in Fylkingen Publishing's Hz Journal in Stockholm, Sweden. Its following paper "ReasonLess Math" was published at VOKE Journal and will be presented at The Arts in Society conference, Rome, Italy, 2014. Guang received a BFA from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design and a Master's from NYU Tisch School of the Arts - ITP.
