Zechen Huang is a Digital Designer, Real-time Artist and Creative Technologist based in London. He has been working on experimental materials, specialising in cinematic worldbuilding at the intersection of film, animation, and emerging technology.
Grounded in architectural design and spatial storytelling, he transforms spaces into journeys that explore identity, mythology, and the shifting boundaries between humanity and monstrosity. Through film and interactive worlds, he crafts spectacles laced with intimacy, absurdity, and the uncanny, inviting audiences to wander, question, and reimagine the futures we inhabit.
