Ada Yueting Wu is an interdisciplinary artist born in China and currently based in the United States. Through installation, performance and sound, she creates visceral experiences that critically examine the production of silence and truth within systems of control. Her practice critiques systems of control through highlighting counter narratives, and unearthing conflicts and contradictions. By subjecting the body to counter forces or exposing it as a malfunctioning circuit within various systems, such as language, ideology and collective memories, she scrutinizes relationships of power and disciplines. She completed her BFA in Sculpture with a concentration in Computation, Technology and Culture at Rhode Island School of Design. Her works have been exhibited at places such as the RISD Museum, Granoff Center at Brown University and Luohu Art Museum in China.
