Yingjie Mu is a multi-disciplinary designer working across communication design, digital media, and interactive systems. Her work explores how digital systems shape perception, behavior, and social structures, with a focus on surveillance, data privacy, power, and the commodification of personal information.

Political Factory

2026

Political Factory is an interactive cinematic system that visualizes power as an invisible current flowing through social machines. Across six mechanical worlds, each represents a distinct political order, and together they form a closed loop. The work transforms theories of governance into motion, rhythm, and imbalance.
