About
Visual Artist  /  Immersive Media

Art lives
between moments

I am Shiyi Liu, a visual artist and immersive media creator working between cinematic storytelling, real-time technology, and spatial experience.

My practice explores the emotional space between memory, perception, and digital presence — translating invisible atmospheres into moving image, interactive environments, and sensory narratives.

Working across Unreal Engine, virtual production, and experimental visual systems, I create experiences that blur the boundary between film, installation, and simulation.

Currently based in Sydney, my work is shaped by a fascination with cinematic rhythm, ambient interaction, and the quiet tension hidden beneath visible surfaces.
