Flo Yuting Zhu {朱雨婷}

Flo Yuting Zhu (b.1997) is a mixed media performance and film artist whose work explores the interplay of absence and presence through moving images, computer algorithms, and site-specific actions. Her practice focuses on the layered dynamics between the 'witnessing' and the 'witnessed', often achieved through the subversion of popular art forms such as vlogs, livestreams, street games, and homemade horror films. 

Flo's creative process is anchored in found materials and generative responses, often developed in real-time collaboration with her co-creators, who are sometimes human, sometimes machine. Regardless of the medium, she always values the emergent, the liminal, and the instantaneous. 

Her work has been featured in notable festivals and exhibitions, including the Wuzhen Fringe Festival (2019), 'Now Play This' at Somerset House (2022), 'Spectacle for Later' at Rio Cinema (2022), 'Sysco's Creative AI Challenge' at Outernet (2023), and the London Short Film Festival (2024). She is also a recipient of the Jamie Iddon Award from Blast Theory (2023) and a DYCP grant from Arts Council England (2024).

Flo was born in Shanghai and is currently based in London.
