Almost Settled

Almost Settled is an interactive installation that uses a custom slider-based interface to create subtle changes within the screen. Through continuous adjustment, viewers engage with shifting conditions of light, movement, and perception, without ever arriving at a fixed or fully stable state.

Yiyun Liu is a visual artist and designer based in Rhode Island whose practice centers on visual perception, interface, and interactive systems. Her work often begins with close observation of everyday gestures and explores how these familiar actions shape the way we experience images and spaces.
