Emma x Zhang (EXZ) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Melbourne, Australia, working across mixed media and new media installations.

EXZ graduated with a Master of Fine Arts from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) in 2023, Bachelor of Design (Communication Design) degree from the same institution. EXZ received international recognition as the 2023 winner in the Digital Art category of the Global Design Graduation Show, a competition organised by Arts Thread in collaboration with Gucci. EXZ collaborated with Rhys Cousins to win the RMIT Wristband Art 2022 Competition with the artwork “The Möbius Universe” — an eight-meter-high suspended installation displayed in RMIT Swanston Library. In 2024, the duo exhibited “The Eye Touch” at the Sorse Gallery, and “Hold Sway” at the Maroondah Federation Estate Gallery. EXZ's 2025 projects include live audiovisual performances at Howler and The Mission to Seafarers (Norla Dome) for Platform Present's immersive art parties, visuals for Euphorie, and a collaborative performance with Chris Caines during her open studio at Manang Artist Residency in Nepal—located near the Annapurna III and IV peaks of the Himalayas; together the duo presents INSEQUENCE, curated by SIRC_UIT in Sydney.

Emma x Zhang's practice explores colour across light projection, multimedia, and mixed media, focusing on conveying a vivid spectrum of visual experiences. Zhang harnesses the transient nature of light to display digitally manipulated archives—ranging from microscopic insects and bioluminescent deep-sea creatures to mundane objects viewed through low and high-resolution lenses—interrogating how natural phenomena can be transformed through fragmented abstractions into an otherworldly hyper-realm. Rooted in an interest in design and technology, EXZ's work continuously investigates new ways of seeing.
