/POP/, 2025
Cheng Wanzhuo
tech-enable
/POP/ is the latest work from the artist’s Field Dialogue series on embodied interaction. It’s a small, portable installation that briefly appears in different corners of the city. Using a camera, it senses the movements of passersby and responds instantly through projection. The setup is quick to install and easy to remove. The piece doesn’t collect or store any personal data—it only reacts live on site. Unlike traditional public art, it doesn’t stay fixed in one place. Instead, it acts as a series of guerrilla-style appearances, emerging in unexpected locations and creating brief moments of interruption.

About the Artist
W1AN (Wanzhuo Cheng) is an artist from Shenzhen, China. Her practice spans installation, computer vision art, and human-computer interaction design. She works across disciplines using sensors, programming, and computer graphics to explore multisensory interactive experiences. While most of her work originates in software-based environments, she is increasingly focused on extending digital content into physical space, seeking to break free from the confines of the screen and embed her work into real-world contexts.
Her practice centers on the fluid relationship between the body, perception, and the physical world. By exploring the integration of airflow, light, and spatial elements with digital technologies, she investigates the dynamics of the digital body and embodied interaction. Her works emphasize transient yet palpable moments of resonance that emerge in the present.
Crowdfunding
We’ve launched a new way to support public art.
These works weren’t commissioned. They appeared because artists care—about their city, their neighbors, and the everyday spaces we share. Now it’s up to the public to respond. If a work speaks to you, support it. Help keep powerful art in public space, where it belongs.
