About
Zoe Qi-Jing Li is a pioneering artist-researcher whose work bridges the emotional and the technological, exploring how artificial intelligence and robotics can give form to human intimacy and shared vulnerability. Her most notable contribution, the 2023 artwork *I Tell the Moon My Secret and the Moon Tells Me Yours* (ITMMSMTMY), exemplifies this fusion: a robotic arm translates collected secrets into ephemeral light paintings, but only when the Moon is visible—a poetic constraint that ties digital expression to celestial cycles. This piece, cited 2 times in its first year, has already sparked dialogue in human-computer interaction and new media art circles. Li’s research centers on affective computing, robotic aesthetics, and participatory art, where she reimagines machines not as tools but as co-creators in rituals of confession and connection. Her work challenges conventional boundaries between artist, audience, and environment, positioning the Moon as an active collaborator. By weaving together code, choreography, and cosmic timing, Li offers a tender critique of surveillance culture—transforming data-sharing into a shared, luminous secret. As an emerging voice, her practice invites us to reconsider how technology might foster, rather than fracture, our sense of wonder and trust.
