Emily Xie

Emily Xie is a visual artist & engineer living in NYC. She works with algorithms to create lifelike textures and forms. She is interested in how disparate materials and patterns come together to create unified visuals, and the stories that each might bring into the fold. She draws inspiration from physical media such as textiles, collage, and wallpaper, and examines them within a digital context.

Her generative systems often navigate many delicate balances at once: the interplays between chance versus control, the organic versus the systematic, and the abstract versus the representational.

Xie's creative coding work is collected and shown internationally. Most recently, she has exhibited at Seattle NFT Museum, Kunsthalle Zürich, Unit London, the Armory Show, Bright Moments, Art Blocks Curated Season 6, Times Square, the StandardVision Artist Showcase throughout the city of Los Angeles.
