Jullian Young is a multidisciplinary artist based in Chicago, IL where she is an Assistant Professor at Northern Illinois University. She works with various tools including 3D modeling and digital fabrication, data visualization, interactive technologies, algorithmic processes, animation and techniques in video art. She has exhibited her work in the US and internationally at venues such as the Ars Electronica Festival, Meow Wolf Convergence Station, VivaTech Paris, the Contemporary and Digital Art Fair, Intersect Art and Design Chicago, Criatech festival in Aveiro Portugal, The MOMus Experimental Center for the Arts in Thessaloniki Greece, and the Listasafn Árnesinga Art Museum in Iceland.
Young’s work engages with the critical dialogue surrounding networked systems, and our participation as a species with our surrounding landscapes. Her artwork seeks to make connections between ecosystems and organisms that often go unnoticed, and challenge the dynamics of care, control, and power in an interwoven network of creatures that ultimately necessitates balance.
