Hi! I’m Yue Zhu, written as 朱越 in Chinese, and I prefer going by “Yuki”.
I am a senior undergraduate doing Industrial Design (B.Eng) at the School of Design & Innovation, China Academy of Art (CAA). Currently, I am an intern at Media and Interaction Lab, Tsinghua University. Before that, I was visiting Politecnico di Torino for a summer internship, and also doing exchange at Willem de Kooning Academie.

I reflect on the relationship between humans and technology with a critical perspective. My current focus is AI ethics and creativity support, with a broader interest in Speculative Design and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). I primarily implement quick prototyping, empirical studies and participatory methods with critical reflection, to perceive, understand and renew the dynamics in between human and non-human entities.

For my artworks, mostly crafted at CAA, I employed humour and absurdity to confront the intense conflicts between human and machines. During the time when I was exchanging to study Transformation Design (B.A.) at Willem de Kooning Academie in Rotterdam, I focused primarily on symbiosis and sustainability with a feminist lens. Earlier, I dedicated nearly 3 years exploring Biological Science during my high school.
