The Enduringly Ephemera (2024)

Marshall/Meixuan Wang is an independent graphic designer and a new-media artist based in Brooklyn.

As a graphic designer, she works with local merchandises and artists, creating brand experience that forge connections and shift cultures. She sees thoughtful design as a sensory experience that enhances community and amplifies brand’s impact.

As a new-media artist, She’s inbetween system, aesthetics, simulacra, and the reality we nest in.
Her works explore the lacunae and precariousness of digitality, and searching dissonant chorus in the natural and constructed world through moving images.

Marshall is currently working as a freelance designer. Previously she worked at MIT Media Lab and Kinestry. Marshall also co-founded Sequence, a New-York based art collective exploring gesture of care through indie-publishing and design goods.

The Enduringly Ephemera

The Enduringly Ephemeral is a study of impermanence through the making of meaningless objects. It’s a collection of 12 speculative artifacts made with different materials and techniques.

In a world where tales of future are etched in traces, relics and preservations, new memories are born from the past. Can we design for the impermanence? How to craft for the transient? Can we compose the ephemera and unfold the ambiguous of living and re-living? By materializing the transience and the fragmented whispers of the unseen, the intrusive artifacts and forensic photo direction delves into the longevity of existence and its lingering stories with the remnants endure.
