Wendi Yan constructs speculative epistemologies through research-driven worldbuilding and metafictional simulation.
She uses CGI technology, game engines, conceptual sculpture to probe the artifice of knowledge, examine the boundaries of the scientific self, and imagine alternative historical timelines in the psychogeography of the East and West.
Yan was an inaugural member of the Steve Jobs Archive Fellowship, the Grand Prix recipient of the 6th VH Award by Hyundai Motor Group, and the inaugural resident at A24 Labs. Yan holds an A.B. in History of Science from Princeton University and a M.S. in Fiction and Entertainment from SCI-Arc. Her work has been exhibited at international institutions, including the ArtScience Museum Singapore, HEK Basel, Ujazdowski Castle CCA, and Hyundai Motorstudio Beijing.
In 2026, Wendi Yan received an Honorary Mention for Collide Stockholm, Arts at CERN’s international residency award, in partnership with the Nobel Prize Museum.
