Biography
Xinyue Liu (She/her/hers) is an aspiring anthropologist exploring the interface of Art/Technology. Her passion lies in interpreting and evaluating the cultural representation of technological objects and human-machine entanglement in the light of STS anthropology. She holds a B.A. in English from Fudan University (2024), where she developed a strong interest in posthumanism and how speculative fiction fills up the vacuum as modern mythology in the contemporary disenchanted world.
At Notre Dame, Xinyue will focus her research on the Anthropology of Artificial Intelligence. She aspires to propose a semiotic reading of the algorithmic culture as both a symbolic system representing social reality and a mediation interweaving human and non-human actors into the social network. Her research looks at the human-machine collaboration in artistic and creative practices. In particular, she hope to focus her scope on experimental storytelling in collaboration with human-artists and Generative AI, especially how Artificial Intelligence complicates our perception of the agency and creativity in the creative process.
