Xiao (b. 2000) is an interdisciplinary artist whose work explores the interaction between technological extrapolation and personal emotional experiences, suggesting possibilities for integrating technology and design with the human body. Xiao employs a futuring approach to speculate on how emotions and experiences evolve over time, transforming these evolutions into narrative designs, installations, crafts, and graphic design.
Hi! I’m Xiao!
Incidental 36: Three Dreams (Orient, Incident, Rachel) is a collaborative animation that narrates the story of an unforeseen event in the universe. A butterfly flutters its wings and gently lands on a crystal ball, setting off an unexpected explosion across the cosmos... When astronaut Rachel awakens, she discovers that she was merely part of the butterfly’s dream... Through this project, we seek to explore and articulate the fluidity and uncertainty of dreams and personal perception, as well as the role music plays in shaping these experiences.
