Yiran Marcel Wang(b.1998) is a Chinese artist based in New York. She was previously working as a technical artist at The Mill Experience Team, a dynamic Advertising and Brand Experience company specializing in VFX and Creative Technology. The team is dedicated to bringing virtual characters to life through real-time technology, previsualization, and offline workflows, creating memorable interactive experiences. In her role, she primarily leverages game engines and CG tools to realize her creative visions.
Marcel received her Bachelor’s degree in Oil Painting from Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in 2020 and received her Master’s degree from New York University’s Tisch Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP). Her works have been shown in CVPR2023(Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Conference), Currents New Media2023, HOT`BED Gallery in Philadelphia, Culture-hub Re-fest 2022, Art Number 23, and Brownie/Project at Shanghai, among others. She has performed at NYC Electroacoustic Improvisation Summit, MOCO 22’ Conference in Chicago, and NIME at NYU.
I am proficient in DCC tools like Maya, MotionBuilder, and Substance Painter, following industry-standard asset organization, clear naming conventions, and defining/documenting technical standards to ensure seamless workflows and scalability.
My toolkit also includes TouchDesigner for creative interactions, Adobe PS/PR to polish final outputs, and Figma for design, enabling me to use my skills to cover as much of the workflow as possible”.
