在新媒体艺术领域中，谭莹注重探讨人工与有机和现时与永恒之间的交叉。她的动画创作通常基于对音乐作品的主观与情感反映，寻求充满诗意的视听合一效果。她的影视作品力图达到对自然的意会及其纯意识境界，借山水喻万物之永久及无常。谭莹尤为关注生命之源的水，着迷于它的清明空灵与姿态万千，雨滴路径，潮汐升降，自然的韵律和时间的流动与自我完美合一。
Ying Tan has been a professor in visual design and digital art at the University of Oregon since 1996. She also served as head of the Electronic Art Department at the Atlanta College of Art, and as director of the Multimedia Design program at the University of Oregon. Tan’s work has exhibited and screened both nationally and internationally, including venues such as the International Image Festival (Manizales, Colombia), XXX Fuori Festival (Pesaro, Italy), Punto y Raya Festival (Reina Sofia Museum, Madrid, Spain), CYNETart_07 (Dresden, Germany), Mediarama (Serville, Spain), 46th Sydney Film Festival (Australia), Transmediale (Berlin, Germany), Dream Centenary Computer Graphics Grand Prix (Japan), KINETICA at Cinematheque (Ontario, Canada), and The National Gallery of Art (Washington, DC). Publications that feature her work include: Seeing Sound: Experimentation in Contemporary Music Graphics (Rizzoli International and Thames and Hudson), Animation: Art and Industry (John Libbey), Punto y Raya Festival 2011 Best Short Film Selection (DVD), Best of 25th Northwest Film and Video Festival (VHS).
In the field of new media, Tan explore intersections between the artificial and organic, the timely and timeless. Her animation is often a visual sequence that responds to music subjectively and emotionally. Her video work evokes the state of pure consciousness. Landscape serves as a reference — the embodiment of both permanence and impermanence of all things. Tan is fascinated by water - ethereal and ever changing. The path of a raindrop, the rising and receding tides, rhythms of nature, and flow of time become art forms in one with my own existence.
