He received his BFA from California College of the Arts and MFA from the University of Pennsylvania. Hao's art is influenced by the relationship between the virtual and the real world, particularly the integration of elements from virtual gaming with real-world technology. His artistic philosophy focuses on exploring the relationship between personal identity and socio-cultural dynamics, especially against the backdrop of technological advancement. His works encompass interactive installations, artificial intelligence, and software and hardware programming, creating mechanical pieces, animation, and video works. Hao’s art has been featured in solo exhibition at the Beijing Today Art Museum, group exhibitions at the Qintai Art Museum (Wuhan Biennale), Williamsburg Art and Historical Center (Brooklyn), and Charles Addams Gallery at Penn (Philadelphia).
What art means to me is to explore the possibility of life.
