Shi Zheng (born in 1990) is an artist based in Shanghai and New York. Shi's artistic creations range from audio-visual installations, digital music and live performance, demonstrating the artist's ongoing interest in simulation and "machine vision". Shi further embodies his reflection on the philosophy of technology, digital voyage and "latent time" by extending the audience's visual and audio experience.
Apart from individual creation, Shi Zheng also
collaborates with other outstanding artists in various fields. In 2013, artistic group RMBit was
founded by Shi Zheng in conjunction with Nenghuo, Wang Zhipeng, and Weng Wei with a focus on the
current context of social media. Both Shi and Nenghuo are the members of the Audio-Visual
performance group OSC (Open Super Control).
Shi Zheng’s individual and cooperated works have been presented in a wide range of museums, art institutions and media art festivals home and abroad, including TANK Shanghai, Sifang Art Museum, MOCA Yinchuan, Sound Art China, Beijing Biennial, FILE Electronic Language International Festival, Ars Electronica, Institute of Contemporary Arts London, Castello di Rivara, The Lumen Prize, Shanghai 21st Century Minsheng Art Museum and OCT Contemporary Art Terminal Shenzhen.
Shi Zheng holds a B.A. from China Academy of Art and
an
MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
