CHENGLIN XUE   

Currently lives and works in Beijing and Virginia. Xue was educated at the China Central Academy of Fine Arts and Alfred University, Department of Electronic Integrated Art. He has participated in exhibitions at Werkstadt Grazy Gallery, Vienna, Robert C. Turner Gallery, and CAFA Art Museum, Beijing among others.

Xue’s work uses Arduino, processing, MaxMsp and other interactive software in synergy photography, video, printmaking, and other media. His work explores the nature of video and objective reality, focusing on the relationship between people and nature, attempting to harness interactive media to explore an invisible reality. 

ARTIST STATEMENT

What is reality? When we approach the world through vision, we believe that what we see is reality, but in reality, it is not. If Ancient Chinese artists used meditation to communicate with and describe the world, can we also use an alternative dialectic to access an alternative vision of reality? In my work I have attempted to use self-constructed digital interactive receptive installations to record and describe the world, visually rendering the transformation of material energy. Perhaps such a visualization of energy is in fact the manifestation of an invisible reality, the expression of an alternative emotion…
