The production of reality induced by the media and new technologies accelerates the transformation of the world from a tangible entity to a variation of intangible narrative. Our existence, transformed by technology, is creating a cognitive dissonance that spreads far more quickly throughout humanity. Constantly constructed realities confront and entangle each other in a loop of subversion and reconstruction. In an accelerated world, everyone is in an intensified struggle of shift between associate and disassociate. We are spectators of the fiction of our own existence. The individuals, as part of the world, are at the heart of this process, yet often find themselves unwittingly marginalized.
JINGDI 淨諦 (Jingyu Cao 曹靖愉) is a Chinese digital artist and photographer based between Paris, Avignon, and Yunnan. Her work probes the fictionality of reality, unfolding across space and time in an era marked by the accelerated proliferation and collapse of reality-systems. Her practice interrogates interdependent causality, examining the collective unconscious as conditioned by the organic entanglements of media and technology. These entanglements—material and immaterial—form the core of her inquiry. Through artificial intelligence and interactive systems, JINGDI creates hybrid works in which concealed existences become perceptible, combining photography, generative imagery, video, 3D moving-image, sound, and text.
