Welcome to Yunchuverse
Yunchu is an artist and designer who works across art, technology, and human experience. As a national-level artistic swimmer, she learned precision, rhythm, and teamwork. Later, she turns those ideas into interactive installations that visualizes movement and language; others focus on product/service design and human-computer interaction design, especially assistive design.

Awaiting Calibration
2024
Interactive Digital Media
Independent research project
The project grows from my own experience of pursuing beauty while obeying rules in artistic swimming. It transforms this tension into an interactive system where motion, measurement, and perception constantly recalibrate one another.
Unspoken Word
2025
Interactive multi-channel dynamic fluid system
Independent research project
Work explores how language flows between people like water, shifting, absorbing, and reshaping meaning. Through continual transformation, it seeks to reclaim its primal sense as the filtered water returns to the cycle.
AI Smart Care Mattress
HCI, Service Design , UIUX
Independent research project
The AI Smart Care Mattress supports elderly and bedridden users in healthcare settings, integrating flexible pressure sensing, antibacterial fabrics, humidity and heart-rate monitoring, and modular 3D-printed structure to deliver intelligent, responsive care.
BalenX
2024
Concept Product Design
Collaborate Project
Participation: Design Strategy, 3D Modeling & Rendering
In narrow, elevator-less buildings, stretchers are difficult to maneuver on tight staircases, risking patient instability and secondary injuries. BalenX is an active stability system that solve this problem by integrating physical support with dynamic balance control.
The Wall
2025
VR
Independent research project
The project uses AR to return a mural from Guangsheng Temple, now in the Nelson Atkins Museum, to its original wall. Instead of restoring the image, it reveals the traces of absence and invites viewers to walk, align, and reflect on how cultural memory persists between preservation and dislocation.

Art & Time
2023
The 24 clock faces of the device represent both a continuous time, just like the clock on your phone, where 24 hours are mirrored one by one. It also represents a non-continuous time, a montage-like approach, where each mirrored time is associated with different actions. The hour hands are replaced by silhouettes of human movements, with each movement being a segment, transitioning from one segment to another. It shows how time is fragmented and then connected under the continuous linear concept of time.
Tibet in My Heart
I apply a sensitivity to proportion, light, and space, shaped through years of engaging with the world through drawing, observation, and spatial study.
When I first visited Tibet at age eight, I sketched more than the landscapes. I tried to capture the quiet strength of the culture, a sense of calm that felt deeply connected to nature. When I returned at thirteen, this feeling grew stronger. I saw that what drew me in was the way Tibetans cherish life, respect nature, and share a belief in kindness. These values are living spirits that have been handed down through generations.
I work with different media to explore how this spirit can be expressed today. I keep asking myself how to help others feel and carry forward this traditional energy. My main goal is to connect the past with people in the present.

The Old Summer Palace
At the Old Summer Palace, I learned to observe light—to capture the rhythm of shadows and the breath of color through impressionistic strokes. The shifting reflections on the ruins and the movement of the water taught me that painting is not a record of what I see, but a response to what I feel. Each brushstroke became a quiet dialogue between myself and the world. In that process, I found that creation is not about persistence alone; it is a moment of pure joy.
