Scarlett Yang is a creative technologist working across materials science, engineering-led prototyping and computational media.
Her practice examines how material and computational systems register environmental change, moving between scientific inquiry, sensory experience and cultural imagination to open new ways of sensing ecological futures.
She holds a background in design and engineering from the Royal College of Art and Imperial College London, and serves as an appointed expert member of the UK Design Council.
Alongside her independent practice she directs commissions and research collaborations with cultural institutions, foundations and industry partners, translating scientific and technological research into exhibitions, public projects and cultural production.
Her work has been exhibited internationally, including presentations at Somerset House, the V&A Museum and Wereldmuseum, with research developed at TBA21 and NEW INC (New Museum New York).
