Bio
Crystal Jow is a Los Angeles-based experiential media designer and movement instructor that specializes in audience-driven immersive installations and meditative experiences that explore motion and media. She’s worked with clients such as Oculus VR, Warner Brothers, DoorDash, and has created installations at the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Palo Verdes Art Center, 20th Century Fox Studios, DGA Theater Complex, Richmond Dance Festival, and the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival, as well as having taught workshops internationally.
Crystal believes her art practice provides audiences with the opportunity for self-reflection and the ability to investigate relationships between the planet, self-healing, and the subconscious. She is currently developing new immersive experiences by cross-pollinating her practices of yoga instruction & meditation with media, and interactive technology. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in experimental animation from the California Institute of Arts and a Master of Fine Arts degree in animation and digital arts from the University of Southern California.
