Wanying Wang

Wanying Wang (b.1999), is an information experience designer, cross-media artist, and brand designer. She believes in human sensual bodies and is dedicated to creating immersive experiences of information using multi-sensory media. Her work spans interactive installations, experimental film, sculpture, speculative design fiction, and visual communication. 

She also has experience in branding and consulting, is passionate about strategy-driven and system-oriented design, and hopes to make our everyday life and the world a bit better.

My research at RCA mainly focused on social and environmental concerns. The presented work- Skin Hunger Era, explores the role of physical contact for individuals and intimate relationships in such an ever-globalized and digitalized world, where physical separation and loneliness have become increasingly prevalent.

I firmly believe that human bodies and their sensual nature can stimulate profound thinking through physical perception and interaction. I have created a collection of speculative artworks engaging multi-sensory experiences to inspire discussions related to Physical Communication & Intimacy.

My work comprises two parts. Part 1, To Get Under The Skin, immerses the audience in the landscape of tactile receptors and nerves beneath the skin. Part 2, Therapy Machines, presents an interactive collection of electronic instruments designed to replicate daily physical interaction rituals in remote intimacy.
