Yiding Yang

Yiding Yang (he/him), a private collector based in Hoboken, NJ, predicts a paradigm shift with the growing role of artificial intelligence in creative fields, both democratizing art commissions and prioritizing human involvement.Yang's journey as a collector began with frequent visits to local and international art fairs, places where he discovered a vibrant array of artists and a diversity of expression that deeply resonated with him. Driven by the desire to evoke the essence of the 'inner child,' Yang's collection is playful and nostalgic.Yang splits his time as a lab assistant at Stevens Institute of Technology and a receptionist at China Institute, a cultural and educational organization that aims to advance a deeper understanding of China. His work at the institute not only enriches his understanding of Chinese culture and its influence on art, but it also reinforces his appreciation for diversity and the importance of cultural representation within the art world.
