bio
I am Lan Xu (laziprofet777), a Chinese-born multimedia artist working across site-specific installation, synth noise, video, photography, and poetry. I studied Integrated Digital Media at New York University and earned my MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. My work explores post-Internet consumerism, media ADHD, and the dynamic relationship between technology and human experience. I approach art as a space of mediation, where music is the vehicle of action, and I am the noise maker.
My art isn’t about criticizing capitalist anxiety, nor is it about privacy, racism, fascism, communism, or lookism. Sometimes, it involves instant crush, blending sound, space, and emotion in ways that resist categorization. Though my work navigates complex cultural terrains, it doesn’t end in neutrality—mediation always drives the action.
Beyond my artistic practice, I am also a holistic healer, an internal martial arts practitioner, a meditation teacher, and a messenger of the Earth.
