Zhongyao Wang, born in Harbin in 1996, lives and works in Beijing. She graduated from Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts and has been the main creative designer and project leader in contemporary artist Xu Bing's studio since 2019. Zhongyao's works guide the audience into a complex structure of narrative and audio-visual resonance that simulates reality. 

She employs three-dimensional animation, digital images, various translucent materials, and texts to create an artistic style that lies between fiction and allegory, with a more poetic and lyrical form. Art in her works is reflected as a mirror that reveals the inner self and as a gateway to communicate with reality. Zhongyao's recent research and creative direction focus on space art and feminist issues. She integrates technology, art, and feminism, using her creations to challenge the privilege and uniformity of space technology.

Her works have been exhibited at various venues including the the Venetian Arsenal, Tank Shanghai, Shanghai Himalayas Museum, Qingdao Yellow Box Art Museum, the Museum of Wild and Newfangled Art, and CAFA Art Museum.

王钟垚,1996年出生于哈尔滨,生活和工作在北京,毕业于天津美术学院,于2019年至今在艺术家徐冰工作室担任主创设计和项目负责人。王钟垚的作品引导观众进入一个由叙事、影音交相呼应,以模拟现实的复杂结构。

她利用三维动画、电子图像,结合各种半透明材料与书写文本,创造出一种介于小说、寓言且形式更加诗意和抒情的艺术风格。艺术在她的作品中被体现为一面反映内心的镜子、一扇与现实沟通的门户。王钟垚近期研究、创作方向关注于太空艺术与女性主义议题,她将技术、艺术与女性主义相互融合,通过创作反对太空科技特权化、单一化。

她的作品曾展出于威尼斯军械库、油罐艺术中心、上海喜马拉雅美术馆、青岛黄盒子美术馆、the Museum of Wild and Newfangled Art、中央美术学院美术馆廊坊馆等地。
