WHERE ECOLOGY
MEETS DATA.
My practice grows from overlooked life forms — oyster shells, tree rings, breath —
whose textures record time. I weave sensors, generative imagery and data
into spaces that invite people to slow down and re-perceive the world.

XIAMEN OYSTERS
Interactive installation · 2024–2025

Interactive installation · 2025
A small domestic installation where faint breath, light and sound reveal hidden emotional undercurrents under an ordinary table.
URBAN STRAY CAT RESCUE AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

A speculative service system for real-time feeding, TNR management and gentle coexistence.
TRACES
Interactive installation · 2024
Waves, particles and erasing surfaces expose the fragile line between presence and disappearance.
CHRONICLES OF TIME
Interactive installation · 2023
An interactive city-corner simulation where microplastic “particles” slowly erode a 3D landscape.
Noah's Ark (铜舟共济)
Documentary film · 2024

YANG SIMIAO
My practice grows from overlooked life forms — oyster shells, tree rings, breath — whose textures record time. I work across interactive installations, service design and generative technology, building spaces that invite people to slow down and re-perceive the world.
For me, design is not a single answer, but an invitation: just as every new ring quietly reshapes the contour of a tree, an oyster shell, or a human life.
