Will Lee is an artist based in New York. He is interested in videogames as a medium for exploring a zero-degree aesthetics, or the minimal conditions for experience. Games reveal how something can be perfectly intelligible but utterly meaningless by playing with concepts, actions, and rules. In 2018–2019, he was an artist fellow at Ashkal Alwan, Beirut, and he participated in the Whitney ISP studio program in 2021–2022.
