Some say it takes a village to raise a child. For artist Shuang Cai, New York City is her village. It’s where the East meets the West, and where she has brought her unique perspective as a Chinese woman to connect with Western art and ideology. Working as an artist and curator with roots in computer science, Cai likes to call herself a creative coder, because her work transcends coding and programming to embody art and its connection to humanity.
