More-Than-Human
Ciao! I am Yuning Chen, a PhD candidate between Design Informatics (Edinburgh College of Art) and STIS (Science, Technology and Innovation Studies) at University of Edinburgh.
With a background in environmental science and design engineering, I am fascinated by the practice of designing with living organisms. And more importantly, how working with more-than-human life could challenge anthropocentric perspectives entrenched in our capitalist ecologies.
My practice-based research looks into more-than-human ethics in biodesign and the broader biotechnological practices, with a particular focus on labour justice and practice of resistance.

Feel free to contact me for collaborations or brainstorming ideas!
During my masters, everyone needs to make a chair in five weeks that represents their design propositions, the course is called Superform. I made Mobius, a transformable chair that invites explorations of various resting positions through physical interactions. This suits me a lot as I am a very restless person. As an interdisciplinary designer, I also deeply value epistemic flexibility. I am always quite fascinated by Esher, and through this chair, I want to explore the spatial shaping potency of one circular line.
