I'm Yi, an interdisciplinary media creator —an artist, developer, product designer, and visionary.

As an artist, I utilized mediums such as VR, multiplayer games, and live audio-visual performances in the context of theaters, galleries, and clubs, exploring the boundaries of sensory experiences and creating connections between technology and mythology with Sci-fi narratives.

As a developer and designer, I do full-stack development in mobile, web VR, Web3 applications, and multiplayer games while designing both UX and UI.

As a visionary and leader, I founded and led the new media art collective NAXS Corp over the past 8 years and established the metaverse social platform Protoworld. I've shown my works in over 30 countries, including festivals such as Transmediale(Germany), Ars Electronic(Austria).

I am an explorer and builder. My interdisciplinary background drives me to continuously explore the gray areas between fields, seeking new possibilities and creating change in the context of art and our social life.
