nemo chen

meet the ARTIST

nemo chen (陈薪旭) is a visual artist whose practice centers on conceptual art and image-making, working primarily with photography, visual communication, and artificial intelligence as methods for experimental exploration. She describes her creative process as a “game of pixels,” using the reconfiguration, simulation, and intervention of image mechanisms to challenge the assumed objectivity of images as documentary media. Her work begins with observation and reflection on social reality, examining how structural forces permeate and shape people’s lives, relationships, emotions, identities, and conditions, and how individuals identify, preserve, and reconstruct an inner order amid constantly shifting external forces.

 

Since graduating from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, she has continued her practice in Los Angeles. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including at the PhotoVogue Festival in Milan, CICA Museum in South Korea, Zhou B Art Center in Chicago, Epoch Art Museum, Lishui Photography Festival, and Beijing 798 Art District in China. Her series have been selected for The Artling’s Surrealist Photography Collection. Her projects and interviews have been featured in outlets such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and The UNESCO Courier.

陈薪旭(nemo chen)是一位视觉艺术家,她的创作围绕观念艺术与图像生产实践展开,并主要通过摄影、视觉传达与人工智能技术进行实验性探索。她将自己的创作过程形容为一场“像素格的游戏”,通过对图像机制的重组、推演与干预,挑战图像作为客观记录媒介的既定属性。她的创作从对社会现实的观察与思考中切入,关注结构性力量如何渗透并形塑人的生活、关系、感受、身份与处境,以及个体如何在持续流动的外部作用中辨认、保留并重构自身的内在秩序。

 

她毕业于芝加哥艺术学院,目前主要活跃于洛杉矶。其作品曾在意大利米兰Photovogue Festival, 韩国CICA博物馆, 芝加哥Zhou B艺术中心,中国年代美术馆, 丽水摄影节以及北京798艺术区等地展出。多件作品被新加坡艺术平台 The Artling 收录,并入选其超现实主义摄影收藏。其项目专题与专访见于Vogue, 时尚芭莎, 联合国教科文杂志等国际媒体及刊物。
