Bio

Youjia Lu is a video artist and researcher. She completed a PhD at the Victorian College of the Arts, University of Melbourne, where she received a Melbourne Research Scholarship and the Academic Assistantship Program 2019-2020. Her research explores how to evoke an immediate experience of an indeterminate Self through digital video art practice. Her ongoing artistic experiments test video’s capacity to digitally manipulate time, create illusory superimposed images and induce strobe effect in projection space. Lu has presented her PhD research ‘Indeterminate Self’ at conferences such as the Visual Science of Art Conference in Italy (2018) and Belgium (2019), Digital Cultures in Germany (2018), European Society for Literature, Science and the Arts in Greece (2019).
