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 Meow Wolf Convergence Station, VivaTech Paris, the Contemporary and Digital Art Fair, Criatech festival in Portugal, Video Art Miden in Greece, the Ars Electronica Festival, 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.
