About
Alongside her visual practice, Xiaoxiao is a pianist, composer, and producer. Trained in classical piano from an early age, she turned to visual art as a teenager after receiving her first camera, gradually moving from photography into film and painting. Her music bridges composition, jazz, and improvisation while drawing on electronic and club culture. Concentrating on electroacoustic and experimental chamber forms, she explores the meeting of structure and spontaneity through prepared piano, synthesizers, sampling, field recordings, and extended techniques.
She holds dual BFAs in Experimental Animation and Music Composition from the California Institute of the Arts.
