This is āññā, an interdisciplinary performative duo formed by multimedia artists Dr. Anqi Liu and Han Zhang. Our performances investigate cross-sensory perception and relational listening through DIY instrument design, including biosignal and sensor-based systems, paired with live audiovisual processes.
Our work is not merely a collaboration, but a continuous merging of lives, thoughts, and psyches—an evolving dreamscape where creative boundaries dissolve and reassemble in perpetual transformation.
Recent activities include the BROILER Artistic Residency with Oracle Egg (Los Angeles), where we developed a DIY biosignal instrument within an interactive performative installation, and the Visiting Artist Scholar Designer Residency at Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design (Denver), centered on a DIY sensor-based interactive system. We also presented an experimental laser and sensor live show at the Dogstar Orchestra Festival (Los Angeles), which New Classic LA described as challenging perceptions of free will. We are currently releasing an experimental film with Music For Your Inbox (Los Angeles), and our debut album is in progress.
