**9:30** - **Noth Liu,**  a Brooklyn based multimedia artist & designer. Currently, she is a 2nd year MFA student in the major of interactive arts at Pratt Institute. She finished her  undergraduate degree in China Academy of Fine Arts in 2018, and her major was digital display design. Her work ranges from Computer art/Interactive art/Virtual production/Mixed reality/Physical computing/Game design/Creative coding to Conceptual art/Experience design/Products design/Illustrations/Fine arts/. In her  artist practice, she creates work based on  current events, scientific facts, human behaviors.  She mainly deals with extreme situations in real life and imaginary simulated scenarios. She expresses her concepts and provides the experiences for the audience through multi media. She favors mixed media for her artwork because it enables unlimited possibilities and for randomness to occur. She also uses narrative or interactive media to visualize, exaggerate, and reconstruct these scenarios. Her visual style is surrealism, combined with collage images, and subtle details of odd/ humorous elements.&#x20;
