Zhang Xindi is a Chinese animation director and visual artist whose practice spans narrative animation, interactive media, and AI generative art. Zhang’s work explores fractured memory, displacement, and belonging through hybrid techniques that merge stylized 3D animation, documentary storytelling, and machine learning tools.

Zhang is at the forefront of AI-assisted animation production, leveraging generative tools such as image-to-video models, motion transfer, and synthetic voices to push the boundaries of authorship and visual language. Her workflows are designed not to replace traditional craft but to augment creative potential, using AI as a tool of expressive experimentation.
