a quiet hotel on the shore.

About

I am Raphael(Boyan) Peng, a creator navigating the spaces between New York and Shanghai. With a dual focus in Honors Mathematics and Interactive Media Arts, I seek emotional expression at the boundaries of logic. To me, photography is time arrested, while code is music in motion.

From the nuances of Chopin on the keys to the algorithmic structures behind the screen, I strive to build a synthesis—using precise forms to capture ambiguous emotions. Whether through a camera lens or interactive installations, this archive represents my momentary interpretation of the world’s order and chaos.

我是彭柏琰,一名穿梭于纽约与上海的创作者。 在荣誉数学与互动媒体艺术的双重探索中,我习惯于在理性的边界寻找感性的出口。对我而言,摄影是凝固的时间,而代码是流动的乐章。 从黑白琴键上的肖邦,到屏幕背后的算法逻辑,我试图构建某种通感——用精确的结构捕捉那些模糊不清的情绪。无论是镜头下的光影,还是交互装置中的数字回响,这里存放的,是我对世界秩序与混乱的片刻解读。
