刘畅是一名活跃在扩展现实叙事，装置艺术和实验电影领域的新媒体艺术家。在香港城市大学攻读艺术硕士期间，她致力于研究通过实验性叙事来增强人们对自我和他人的同情心的可能性。《旁观者》这部由她创作的实验电影向观众呈现了一个承受着创伤后应激障碍以及解离人格症的家庭暴力幸存者的内心世界。这部作品获得了斯图加特冬季电影节的全球文化奖，也被2019年的ifva电影节评选为了决赛作品。目前，她作为一名城市大学的博士学者持续地进行着社会科学的研究和艺术创作。她目前的研究重点是将现有的同情治疗法的治疗方式与创意的扩展现实叙事相结合来提高同情治疗法的普及率和治疗效果。这个作品的互动虚拟现实版本会在展览期间在Viveport上发布，它与HTC Vive、HTV Vive Pro、Oculus Rift和Oculus Rift S兼容。
