Moira Zhang is an artist, designer, and creative producer building cross-disciplinary systems at the intersection of art, technology, and collective imagination.Working with Unreal Engine, AR, and sound, she creates hybrid environments that connect people, machines, and emotions—functioning as both artwork and social architecture. Her current practice investigates how collaborative infrastructures can generate new forms of community and shared presence.
