Guang Zhu Guang Zhu, an Artis’st Biography “I work with mathematic equations and computer code to craft lifelike, complex movement that appears as harmonic abstract geometry. It attempts to reflect and fantasize D’Arcy Thompson’s hypothesis that life is founded on the mathematical patterns of the physical world.5 Despite their artistic merit, my works are also the results of the examinations performed for my continuing research on the history and mathematics of parametric equations discovered before the 19th century. As an emerging media artist, I hark from the Renaissance attitude of wholesomeness, where science and art progress according to the beauty that we see therein.

“I studied at NSCAD University in Halifax, Canada, where my experimental works of sound and film were showcased on radio channels and at film festivals. In 2012, I completed my graduate study at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts in the Interactive Telecommunication Program (ITP), with a focus on the art of mathematical visualizations. My collaborative piece Beluga was a part of the Big Screen Presentation presented at InterActiveCorp’s (IAC’s) headquarters in New York City. I have since continued to work on my thesis project, The Parametric Courante. Its research component has grown more in-depth as its artistic outcome has become more sophisticated. I wish for all the aspects of my work to contribute and inspire the evolvement of computational aesthetics in innovative technology and the integration of mathematical concepts into digital art.
