ABOUT ME · 关于我
I make images for
worlds not yet seen.
I am Yang Chentao, a filmmaker and visual storyteller working at the intersection of cinema, artificial intelligence, and emerging creative tools.
My practice is less about making machines create, and more about learning how intention survives translation—from a feeling, to a frame, to a world.

VISUAL NOTEBOOK · 私人视觉笔记
A little dirty.
A little strange.
Early-digital flash, imperfect crops, contact sheets, and images that feel found rather than announced. A quieter counterpoint to the system work.
