Yaxuan Liao's practice explores the shifting relationship between perception and self within technological environments. She treats data, frequencies and systemic structures as contemporary conditions of perception, translating abstract informational processes into experiential spaces through visual and acoustic mediation.

 

In her work, data ceases to be merely an object of analysis, becoming instead a generative medium—simultaneously shaping order and revealing instability. Fluid forms, repetitive rhythms, and subtle deviations collectively constitute a perceptual field situated between reason and sensibility, pointing towards the individual's state of existence within technological systems—a state that is continuously influenced yet elusive to full definition.

 

Her work does not seek to depict technology itself, but rather focuses on the human perceptual experience within systems: how the self continually emerges amidst the interweaving of

consciousness, the body, and algorithms, caught between being measured and being perceived.
