Dingyi Feng
Dingyi Feng is an Artist, Designer, DJ, and lives in London and Beijing.
Her practice centers on paintings and also includes videos, installations and experimental music. Her research mainly uses error and the dialectical rationality of error as a Fictioning* method. These errors are collected from the occasional phenomena of the computer age, such as distortion and glitching of images, misprinting, bugs in games, misunderstanding of information, etc.
She introduced this method into the revalue of Chinese historical painting, individual and collective memory, so as to redefine the relationship between reality and fiction, correct and error, and try to provide a framework for alternative and sustainable future within the visual system. Illustrating the agency of error can either imagine the point of view of the posthuman or reimagine these heterogeneous images from a posthumanist perspective.
Currently, through the context of post-modern Deleuzian theory and posthumanism methodology, she explores things beyond rationality and reality and expands the function of art practice, and a new perspective to explore the cultural patterns of postmodern narrative.
*Fictioning in art is an open-ended, experimental practice that involves performing, diagramming or assembling to create or anticipate that which does not exist. (by David Burrows and Simon O’Sullivan)
