Kai-Luen Liang is a musician and interdisciplinary artist based in Los Angeles. Working with code, generative sound, and digital media, his work explores themes of memory, erasure, migration, and machine perception. He creates hybrid instruments and glitch-based software systems that embrace failure and miscommunication as a mode of resistance and poetic possibility.
He has exhibited internationally at ARS Electronica, SXSW, Boiler Room Beijing, Clockenflap and more, with music released on labels including SVBKVLT, Ran Music, and Robox Neotech. He is faculty at CalArts' Center for Integrated Media and a visiting artist at Occidental College, where he teaches courses on creative coding, AI, and sound installation.
