Leo, an emerging new media artist whose work unfolds at the intersection of technology, AI, and art. Studying Applied Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Waterloo, he contributed to innovative tools for artists, the Academy Award-winning 3D animation software packages Maya and Houdini before continuing his career at renowned studios, Pixar and Electronic Arts. In 2024, Leo transitioned from the technology development industry to focus exclusively on his artistic practice. His art explores themes of belonging, identity and community, informed by his experiences as a Canadian-born Chinese navigating cultural tensions in a small northern Ontario town and later enriched travels. Leo creates interactive installations that dynamically sense and respond to viewers, inviting an introspective and playful dance between artwork and audience.
