Wang Dongma - 王东马 (b. 1968) is a multimedia artist from Beijing who, since 2005, has been a main feature in the creation of a variety of new media artwork including interactive LED screens, mirrors, electronic sculptures, and large scale and miniature video installations at island6 Arts Center.
In 1991, Wang earned a BA degree in Physical Engineering from Zhejiang University which instilled in him an extensive knowledge of optics and nanotechnology, and provided an engineering aptitude that has been a centerpiece of island6 works and exhibitions since he brought his skills to the studio as a resident artist in December 2007, beginning collaboration with Liu Dao.
Together, Liu Dao and Wang Dongma research technology as a visualization instrument, as Wang’s desire to approach timelapsed video and aerial photography as an apparatus for research in his study of visual landscape continually excites the island6 creative process.
Wang’s balanced life between academic and artist enables him to have increased communication and dialogue with technicians and artists from all backgrounds, such as Zou Susu, Yang Longhai, Zhang Deli, and Zhu Ye. In February 2008, Wang was chosen by Manaart to be represented at the first ever Roma Contemporary Art Fair in Rome, Italy.
