Xingyu Huang (b. Hubei) is a Chicago- and Los Angeles–based artist working across sculpture, architecture, and digital media. Her practice examines adaptation as a shared condition between human and non-human systems, tracing the emotional, infrastructural, and ecological reverberations of transformation.
Through collaborations with scientists and local communities, Huang integrates biological and computational systems into her installations—constructing hybrid ecologies where plants, bacteria, sensors, and sound coalesce into responsive environments. Her research-based and site-specific works translate data and environmental processes into affective sonic and moving-image experiences.

Huang’s work has been exhibited at the Hyde Park Art Center, University of Chicago, Zhou B Art Center, 4C Gallery, and SAIC Galleries. In 2025, she contributed to a collaborative project featured in the Chicago Architecture Biennial.
She received the Arts, Science + Culture Initiative Grant from the University of Chicago and was nominated for the AICAD Teaching Fellowship. Huang earned her MFA in studio art from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and dual degrees in Architecture and Environment Design from the University of Edinburgh and Donghua University.
