Biography
Yuhanxiao Maggie Ma is a US-based research-driven multimedia artist and PhD student at the University of Washington’s Center for Digital Arts and Experimental Media (DXARTS). Her practice lies at the intersection of speculative fiction, science, and ethics, blending critical inquiry with parafictional storytelling. Through 3D fabrication, casting, physical computing, and multimedia installation, she explores how technological and scientific systems shape lived experience and reveal the often overlooked or unintended consequences of innovation.
Informed by phenomenology and critical theory, Ma both employs and critiques emerging technologies to examine their broader social implications. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including presentations at Ars Electronica (Linz), Art Nou and DOM Gallery (Barcelona), THE BLANC and CultureHub (New York), as well as in Shanghai and Nanjing.
