Riley Zhou works across critical theory, art, and technology.
Their practice traces the ways technologies enter perception, subjectivity, culture, and politics. Drawing on fieldworks across continents, they move between critical theory and situated encounters, attending to the infrastructures, histories, and imaginaries through which technical worlds take shape. Their work extends into sound, writing, and interactive media, approached as modes of research and critical inquiry.
Based in Shanghai/California at the moment.
