Muxingye Chen is a Chinese new media artist currently based in Rotterdam, whose work critically reflects on the impact of digital art on cultural identity and physical nomadism. His artistic practice seeks to explore the intersection of technology, art, and cultural traditions.
Drawing inspiration from posthuman philosophy and cybernetics, Chen's work investigates the ways in which technology shapes our understanding of the world and ourselves. As a global citizen who has lived and worked in multiple countries, Chen is deeply interested in exploring the ways in which technology can be used to create experiences that transcend physical and cultural boundaries.
At the heart of Chen's artistic practice is his focus on the embodiment of sound, image, and space. He creates audio-visual performances that are contextual and responsive to specific locations, often recording sounds from cultural sites to create a personal database of sounds for use in his work.
Through the use of CGI art, projection mapping, and real-time audio-visual performance, Chen creates immersive and interactive experiences that challenge viewers to engage with and shape the artwork in real-time. His work seeks to push the boundaries of what is possible with artistic expression through the use of technology, while also questioning our relationship to the machines and systems that surround us.
Chen's artistic practice aims to explore and experience the diversity of contemporary human experience while critically reflecting on the impact of technology on our world and our understanding of cultural identities.
