Yuge Zhou
Artist Bio
At the age of five, Yuge Zhou (周雨歌) became a household name in China as the singer for popular children’s TV series. Yuge came to the US a decade ago to earn a degree in computer science and subsequently moved into video art and installations. Her work addresses transient encounters amidst the rush of contemporary life and longing across natural and urban spaces as sites of shared dreams. She creates immersive experiences through digital collaging and sculptural reliefs.
Yuge has exhibited nationally and internationally in prominent art and public venues and is currently an artist at NEW INC, New Museum’s art and technology incubator. Recent awards include Juried Award in the installation category at ArtPrize 2021, Artist Fellowship Award in Media Arts from the Illinois Arts Council and Honorary Mention in the 2020 Prix Ars Electronica in Linz, Austria. Her work has been featured in various publications such as the New York Magazine, Colossal, and The Atlantic. Yuge holds a MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago as well as a Master of Science from Syracuse University.
