Caiyun Chen(b.2002) Shanghai, graduated from the Glasgow School of Art, MFA, 2024. Since 2018, Their work has included experimental video, installations, graphics, and electronic music. The current research focuses on image reconstruction, digital intervention, hyperimage analysis, intertextual writing and interimagery, visual power, identity issues and noise practices.

Their current research delves into the complexities of image reconstruction and digital intervention, with a keen interest in how technology alters and reshapes our perception of images. They meticulously examine how images exert power and influence within society, breaking down and analyzing intricate visual systems that extend beyond the conventional boundaries of visual representation. In parallel, their work is deeply engaged with intertextual writing and interimagery—exploring how different forms of media and text interact, influence one another, and generate new meanings when combined. This interdisciplinary approach results in a seamless integration of textual and visual elements, fostering dialogues across various media platforms.

A significant aspect of their work centers on the dynamics of visual power and identity. They frequently question how these elements are represented and perceived in contemporary society, particularly at the intersections of personal, cultural, and digital identities. Additionally, their practice includes noise experimentation, exploring the boundaries between sound, silence, and the disruptions that occur within this spectrum. By creatively utilizing sound and visual distortions, they aim to expand the limits of perception and challenge conventional narratives.

Recent works have been shown at venues including Heerz Tooya (Veliko Turnovo, Bulgaria), VCAS (Vienna), New Glasgow Society (Glasgow), South Block Gallery (Glasgow), Ubox (Shanghai), Weland Foundation for The Third Pole (Lhasa, Tibet), DOC.Park (Guangzhou),The Alchemy Experiment(Glasgow). They also collaborate on club visuals, and queer community.
