I am Aiqi Zhang. I love seeing what happens in the extremes, it is also the way I deal with graphic design. Currently, I’m prototyping in all dimensions. With each project, I look for ways to bring my work into a spatial and digital world, allowing people to experience it in new and exciting ways. My desire is to create a multidisciplinary practice with no boundaries.

Matthew Brandt (b. 1982, Los Angeles) received his BFA from Cooper Union in 2004 and MFA from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) in 2008. Interested in physicality, process and landscape, Brandt’s ability to stretch the readings of an image, multiplying them both physically and conceptually, speaks directly to his interest in how images loom and meanings shift within a shared visual history. His work is the clever manifestation of a photographic alchemist, satisfying the urge for the tangible, and grounding us in the present. Brandt’s precocious talent has landed him in the permanent collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the Armand Hammer Museum (Los Angeles) and the Elton John Collection. He currently lives and works in Los Angeles.
