Mix Media, Installation, 3D Art
Zishi Tu(Yuxi Chen) is a London-based Creative Technologist and 3D Artist whose practice explores the construction of imaginary worlds through cuteness, mythology, play, and dark fantasy. Working across interactive installation, pen plotter painting, visual games, animation, and 3D digital media, she creates characters and environments that exist between tenderness and unease.
Her work centres on the idea of building an alternative world through cute characters. These figures inhabit strange, playful, and sometimes unsettling spaces, inviting audiences to enter a world where softness becomes powerful, and cuteness becomes a language for storytelling, transformation, and resistance.
