Ruipeng Wang is a media artist and researcher at the MIT Media Lab.

He holds an M.S. in Fiction and Entertainment from the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc, 2024), and previously worked with Jiakun Architects, MAD Architects, Fab-Union, and The Garden in the Machine.

Since 2023, alongside his studio practice, Wang has served as an exhibition director, producing a series of international new media art exhibitions. He is also the founder of Youth Digital Group (YDG), an international artist-led platform that supports emerging practitioners working across art, computation, installations, and interactive media.

Across his past, present, and emerging works, Wang’s artistic inquiry centers on RIPPLE, explored through two interwoven dimensions: the water ripple (material and real) and the spatial ripple (metaphorical and relational), articulated through interactive systems, responsive materials, and AI-mediated installations.
