I’m Yuhan Ma (Coco), a current master student at NYU ITP. I’m a creative technologist and an experimental storyteller, who combines different forms of technology and emerging media to tell stories and bring creative ideas alive. I have interdisciplinary knowledge of virtual production, 3D software, coding, advertising, digital marketing and strategy, theatre, music, and comedy.

My Garden
Interactive Installation
My Garden is an interactive device, it has a very intuitive presentation, which is mainly based on hardware sensing addition in space. The PIR sensors would send a signal to the servo motors that cause the flowers to follow people’s directions. In this installation, we use the concept of "responsive architecture". "Responsive design" is originally an architectural concept, and physical space can respond according to the situation of the people in it.

Imprisonment
Narrative Film
This narrative film was nominated in Commotion Picture in Hartford, where I served as producer, cinematographer, and art director. This is a suspenseful film. There are three spaces in common progress: her body, her unconscious dream world, and her memories.

I Live In Brooklyn
AI generated Song / Machine Learning
A new song "I live in Brooklyn" generated by artificial intelligence. I let the machine learn the melody of “Bad guy” for 12 seconds, and selected Rihanna and Genre Soul as the learning objects for the rest, and automatically generated the lyrics through AI software. The generated effects and melody really make me feel amazing! ! Because the sample is relatively low quality, I re-produced the accompaniment, sang and reproduced the melody concept given by AI by myself.
Marrionette
Interactive game / Unreal Engine
Marionette is an interactive Unreal Engine project that allows people to interact with the virtual cyborg puppets with their hands in a touch-free way. The scene and virtual interactive part were created in Unreal Engine, and a Leap Motion controller was used to recognize hand postures and movements. I wanna explore whether people can maintain their original purity without being manipulated by rapid technology development in the meta world.
