Riven (Taoyu) Chen

Riven (Taoyu) Chen is an intermedia artist born in China and based in Montreal whose worldbuilding practice bridges art and philosophy. Riven integrates game engines, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, and electronics to create interactive installations that explore tensions between fictional identities, social systems, and alternative ways of imagining the world. Their simulated worlds reveal the limits and instabilities of the frameworks through which we understand reality.
