Leia S. Chang (they/them, b. 1995) is an artist, creative technologist, and educator exploring the complexities of identity from their perspective as a second-generation non-binary Asian American. With a strong command over creative fabrication and materiality, Leia integrates digital media into physical forms to build interactive installations that spotlight the connection between memory, identity, and storytelling. Leia's work captures ephemeral moments in both poetic texts and tangible objects made from wood, resin, and other found material.

Leia was a member for the 2023 Gray Area Incubator and has shown work at The Blanc Gallery, Gray Area SF, SYZYGY CoOp, and Resistor NYC, has co-curated an exhibition on Useless Machines with artist/educator Blair Simmons. They organize and facilitate workshops on digital fabrication and creative coding. Leia holds an MPS from NYU TISCH’s Interactive Telecommunications Program (2023), and a BS in Computer Science from California Polytechnic University of San Luis Obispo (2017).
