Huanzhe Hu (b. 2000) is an interdisciplinary artist who received her MFA in Digital + Media from the Rhode Island School of Design. Her work begins with a simple desire: to give form to things that are invisible, inaudible, or otherwise beyond direct perception. The sound of ice forming, slowly shifting weather patterns, vortices moving beneath the surface—she builds instruments for these phenomena, directing attention toward aspects that can never be fully grasped. Hu carefully establishes the conditions under which a work may unfold, leaving the rest to time, environment, and a person who experiences and continually forgets. In an era when systems claim to record, archive, and replay everything, she is drawn to what can only be encountered firsthand and can never be completely preserved.

Her works are held in the collections of the RISD Museum, the SCFAI Art Museum, and the Iceland University of the Arts. Her work has been exhibited at venues including DEMO Festival (New York), Petitree Gallery (Shenzhen), LoosenArt (Rome), and the SCFAI Art Museum (Chongqing).

Artist Statement

My work stems from a simple wish: to revitalize the intangible, visualize the imperceptible, and give volume to the inaudible. I make site-specific installations and time-based work that give form to things beyond direct perception. The sound of ice forming, slowly shifting weather patterns, vortices moving beneath the surface. I build instruments that attend to these phenomena, focusing on what cannot be fully grasped, and I set the conditions under which they may emerge. The rest is left to time, to environment, and to a perceiver who is both experiencing and continually forgetting.

In an era that claims to record and replay everything, my practice turns toward what can only exist through lived encounter—what appears only in experience, and disappears within the same moment.




艺术家简介

胡寰哲（Huanzhe Hu）是一位跨领域艺术家，获罗德岛设计学院数字+媒体硕士学位。她的作品源于一个简单的愿望：为不可见、不可闻、不可感之物赋形。冰形成过程的声音，缓慢变化的天气，暗流交织的漩涡……她为这些事物制造仪器，对准其中无法被完整把握的部分。她精确地设定作品发生的条件，剩下的交给时间、环境，和一个正在经历、并不断遗忘的人。在一个系统声称能记录、能回放一切的时代，她关心的是那些只能经由亲身经历、无法被完整留存的东西。

她的作品被 RISD Museum、四川美术学院美术馆与 Iceland University of the Arts 等机构收藏。作品曾在 DEMO Festival（纽约）、Petitree Gallery（深圳）、LoosenArt（罗马）和四川美术学院美术馆（重庆）等机构展出。


艺术家声明

我的创作源于一个简单的愿望：为不可见、不可闻、不可感之物赋形。我制作在地装置与基于时间的作品，关注冰形成过程的声音、缓慢变化的天气、暗流交织的漩涡这类现象。我为这些事物制造仪器，对准其中无法被完整把握的部分，并设定它们得以发生的条件。剩下的，交给时间，交给环境，交给一个正在经历、并不断遗忘的人。

在一个声称能记录、能回放一切的时代，我的实践转向那些只能经由亲身经历而存在的东西，只在经验中显现，也在同一刻消失。
