RAY LC’s practice explores how humans adapt to constraints to foster creativity, examining their expression in co-creation with AI and machines. He uses human-computer interaction and speculative narrative approaches in large scale robotics and immersive media to probe the ways humans and social communities are affected by emergent technologies.

He takes perspectives from his own research in neuroscience (pubs in Nature Communications) and in HCI (pubs in CHI, CSCW, HRI, DIS) in his artistic practice, with notable exhibitions at BankArt, New York Hall of Science, Kyoto Design Lab, Elektra Montreal, Ars Electronica Linz, Saari Residency, New Museum, NYC Short Documentary Film Festival, NeurIPS, CVPR, Angewandte Festival, Athens Digital Arts Festival, Elektron Tallinn, Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre, Osage Gallery, Macau Art Biennale, Videotage, Goethe Institute, Hong Kong Arts Centre, PMQ, Taikwun, Science Gallery MSU, National Asian Culture Center Gwangju, ISEA, IEEE VISAP, SIGGRAPH Asia, etc.

RAY comes from UC Berkeley EECS-Math (BS), UCLA Neuroscience (PhD), Parsons School of Design (MFA). Sitting at the intersection between art, technology, and human interaction, RAY has been awarded by Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Verizon Connected Futures, Adobe Design Award, Microsoft Imagine Cup, Kone Foundation, Lumen Prize, Davis Peace Foundation, New York Foundation for the Arts, Hong Kong Arts Development Council, Hong Kong Research Grants Council General Research Fund.
