Lingyu Wang (王淩宇, b. 1995, China) is a visual artist, researcher, and teacher. His/their work examines queer body, immigrant experiences, performativity, and materiality through photography, film, and scholarly research. 

His art practice is rooted in experiences, memories, and communities of queer Chinese diaspora, exploring contested dualities: tradition and avant-garde, nativeness and foreignness, visibility and censorship, taboo and desire, self and other, and heteronormativity and queer futurity. His scholarly research sits in the intersection of art theory, critical design, and human-computer interaction. He also works on digital libraries and digital humanities projects with people across disciplines of LIS, arts, and humanities. 

Lingyu received M.A. in Media, Culture, and Communication from New York University in 2020. Previously, he received B.A. in Film Studies & B.S. in Electronic Engineering and Computer Science from University of California, Berkeley in 2017. His short films have been screened, awarded, and nominated at multiple venues and film festivals in the United States. His scholarly works have been published in journals and conferences in fields like archival science, information science, and media studies.

Currently, Lingyu is pursuing Ph.D. in Library and Information Science at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill while teaching classes there.
