Yamin Xu works on the edge that blurs animation, artificial intelligence, and robotics with an emphasis on the exploration of computational perception as an inseparable part of art expression. He strives to create and define new things, which have not been clearly perceived as art. This motivation is sustained by his rigorous art/engineering practice, which is informed by the convergence of divergent spheres of study: religion and science, privacy and surveillance, robotic and organic. The result is in innovation, feedback to affect and expand his understanding and definition of art. His artwork has been exhibited internationally, such as SIGGRAPH, ISEA, CVPR, CAA and TEI.
