Mathematical organization derived from natural forms has always inspired me. I began working with computer-aided design and 3D printing to create my work. I found that CAD allowed me to create organic but precise forms. After my work is modeled on a computer it is produced by a machine that prints in 3D or builds the pieces layer by layer.

Yuliya Lanina is a Russian-born American artist living and working in New York City who creates alternate realities based on sexuality, fetishism, and identity.

The installation explores reciprocal musical interactions between the mosquito and the computer. The computer produces a stimulus sound to which the mosquitoes synchronize. Subsequently, the computer sings a third voice that responds to the musical inflections of the mosquitoes’ buzz. These three voices come in and out of harmony depending on the mosquitoes' propensity to maintain sync with the stimulus signal.

Hundreds of satellite dishes infect a skyskraper like a disease. Or is it mankind's unconscious desire to barricade itself from real life, to slow down social life by consuming endlessly accelerating media input? The dishes are pointing in the direction of a distant satellite, expressing the disconnect between people as social beings.

This performance interlaces the movements of a performer with the choreography of the sound. The flutist uses the sound, the room, and her movements to affect the resonances of a space, mixing technology, music, and pathways to discover new meanings of space.
