About

Overview

Australian dance-trained artist. Digital scenography for screens, projectors, and LED.

Dance taught me that movement carries more than we can usually see. I build generative systems to bring those hidden mechanics to screens, projections, and LED environments, making the joy of movement visible to more people.

What I build

Movement is everywhere in public space: in crowds, in data, in the body. I use generative systems to make that hidden choreography visible.

01 Digital Activation

From Content to Choreography

Screens as reactive surfaces that move with the people watching. Passive displays become site-specific performers.

02 Data Visualization

Making Data Dance

Abstract data (footfall, temperature, social patterns) translated into fluid motion. The invisible pulse of a venue made visible to anyone passing by.

03 Spatial Memory

The Ghost in the Machine

Spaces given a memory. Systems that capture the ghosts of past movement, layering the history of human activity onto the present moment.

How it all connects

Perspectives

What collaborators say

"Wendy Yu's work is a mesmerizing practice that sits at the intersection of choreography, creative coding, and projection art. Her ability to bring dance into urban media art removes the need to have an interest or knowledge of dance because you can stumble on it."

Ashleigh Kane Glorious Sport

"Wendy Yu's superb video and AV design is totally transportive. The immense projections loom above the storytellers, seeming to dwarf them with the power of their myths."

Caroline Stafford Theatre Reviews Perth

"Wendy Yu's superb video and AV design is totally transportive. There is a giddy, self-aware sense of abandon that disguises a very real and serious examination of beliefs and spiritual philosophy."

Tim Byrne The Guardian

"The visual feast created through projection art transforms spaces into immersive storytelling environments. The work flows seamlessly from reality to dreamscape, creating an experience that is both visually overpowering and emotionally resonant."
