Her recent works have looked at Artificial Intelligence and systems aesthetics, investigating how we interact with AI system constructed interfaces and speculating how technology and humans evolve together in the posthuman era. In the project “The hidden space, she built a system that combined AI texts, automation, collective memory data and voice interaction. Using poetic AI to reveal the hidden power that controls our body, unconscious routines and social ideology.

She also explored body gestures and dancing art. She made some projects that cooperated with choreographier to explore the relationship between body movement and AI texts, software systems and physical reality. Asked the question about how technology reshapes our body from the feedback loop, and how our body acts as a medium to bring the contingency in reality to the electronic world.

She believes that technology embodies a specific way of revealing the world. She hopes that technology would not alienate us, instead, they enrich us, pushing us to rethink our relationship with nature.
