Meimei(Xinyi Mei) is an artist and situation creator based between Shanghai and Jiangsu, China. Her multidisciplinary practice oscillates between image and text while incorporating media theory to intervene in the representations of material culture. She investigates and interprets the symbiosis in specific situations and examines parody and storytelling as means of speculative narratives. To evaluate the circumstances when consilience and situated knowledge are interwoven, she measures and negotiates between glitch and success, utterances and aphasia, the original and replica, poetry and intellect, compromise and refusal. She also proposes discussions about the communication strategy and spatial politics between the author, the audience, and the work. Meimei received her MFA degree from Rhode Island School of Design in 2021. Her lens-based works, installations and writing practices have been exhibited in galleries and spaces in Shanghai, New York, London, and Taipei. Currently, she also works as an adjunct faculty at Tongji University in Shanghai.
