Ziye Zhang (he/him) is game designer and a digital media artist  , working across a wide range of digital tools and art mediums on topics related to contemporary culture and the everyday social life scene in the Information Age. This Website includes Ziye's Game projects and art projects from 2018 to 2023, mainly focusing on seamlessly and subconsciously reproducing, reactivating, and retrieving intimacy, social connection, and public engagement in the post-Covid digital realm. Among these projects, he also explores boundaries of selfness and individual will, especially in circumstances of daily online communication under pervasive censorship.
Ziye believes in the diversity in the nature of human beings' perception and reaction to information through digital devices, and he sees programming language and its application not only as a doorway to parse the inner relationship of people, technology, and information but also a method of art to perform resistance. He also adopts game design as a significant device to make art. He is interested in how the game, as an extension of the interactive art medium, provides accessible and participatory spaces for information sharing, emotion resonation, and culture building. Spending years in video game and board game production, Ziye uses game design to reimagine the relationships between designers and players and interrogate social and cultural issues.
