Response to 8102
"The most stressing problem in 2018 is that 2018 has already passed and what problems will be encountered next year? And what concerns me most in real life is what is reality? Is there a gap between the 'real' reality and the reality I perceive?"
About the Artist
Born in 1986 in Wuhan, Feng Chen graduated from the Department of New Media Art of the China Academy of Art in 2009 and joined a two-year program at the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten in the Netherlands as artist-in-residence from 2014 to 2015. Now he works and lives in Hangzhou.
Feng Chen points his camera at the things that constitute life – people and events – but by folding and layering their appearance, he translates them into something confusing. In his works, Feng questions the manipulative power of media, which he tries to deconstruct and reconstruct with his camera, altering the way it operates and represents the world. He also dissects the synchronization of image and sound, inserting a wedge between the different senses, leading us to question which one we should trust. In the end, the truth may very well lie halfway.
About Recent Works
The Darker Side of Light – Shadow，2018
LED lights, monitors, camera, programming LED controller
Dimensions variable
This work aims to investigate and interactively challenge how the audience experiences exhibitions in public venues. Feng Chen invites the public to enter a disorienting space and to abandon conventional ways of sharing our encounter with an artwork. The project is based on the premise that, when confronting a multimedia work, ordinary cameras might be unable to fuel the same emotional response to it as the human eye does, and mostly fail to emulate the on-site perception. The installation encourages us to be in the space and connect to the work, feeling how subtle changes of light, color and shadow affect our cognitive visual experience.

7 Real Magic Books – Architecture，2017
Carbon fiber
200 x 100 x 100 cm
Sketch #1-8 and 7 Real Magic Books – Architecture paired to an installation of augmented LED lights. Feng Chen’s sculptures in carbon fiber are part of an ongoing investigation of the technical qualities of the medium. The properties of carbon fiber, such as high tensile strength and low weight, make it popular in aerospace and civil engineering. Nevertheless, it still requires hand-made craftsmanship to be turned into a sculptural form. Presented in a major group including 9 new pieces, the sculptures look at first glance like line drawings or sketches on the walls. When walking through the space the visitors notice that they are instead volumetric lines. In the space, LED lights flicker at a speed almost undetected by our sight and synchronize in this case with highly sensitive 3D glasses, which reveal a shift of color in the space however imperceptible to the naked human eye.
W，2015
Wood, speaker, motor, mechanical parts
108 × 120 × 108 cm
Setting out from the original intention of shooting the ocean, Feng Chen hopes to present the relationship between image and sound in different ways. In this installation, with the synchronization of image and sound, he tries to explore the effect of senses on emotion and imagination in this installation.
