Wendi Yan & Darren Zhu
Wendi Yan and Darren Zhu are collaborators combining backgrounds and interests across history of science, metascience, philosophy of technology, and synthetic biology.
Using game engines, generative models, film, hardware, software, and wetware, their work imagines alternative epistemic practices, through simulating processes that play at the boundaries between natural and artificial, scientific and speculative, historical and futuristic.
Darren and Wendi’s work has been supported by the Berggruen Institute, Cosmos Institute, Ethereum Foundation, Protocol Labs, and Gates Foundation. Wendi was an inaugural member of the Steve Jobs Archive Fellowship, while Darren was an inaugural member of the Thiel Fellowship.
