Julia Shu (Neometa) is a multidisciplinary artist blending art, technology, science and nature to explore the vastness of time and space through the creation of visual metaphors that extend our ways of comprehending the universe.
Neometa* (neo – new, recent; meta – "beyond", “transcending") derives from the binary numeral system, the synergy of human and technogenic and alludes to metamodernism. It’s the way of working with reality divided between zero and one: the art and science of combining polar opposites to reach a fragile harmony.

Julia/Neometa strives to create artworks beyond the hype that are yet relatable across the globe and contain a universal meaning. Her works are aimed at deepening our understanding of complex interconnections formed by media and society, art and technology, science and spirituality and beyond.
*neo – from Ancient Greek νέος (néos), meaning “new”, “young”.
meta – from the Greek μετά (meta), meaning "after" or “beyond", more comprehensive or transcending.
