Yining Fei

Yining Fei (Harbin, China, 1990. Lives and works in Shanghai, China) works across sculpture, moving image, and installation to form narratives that walk between the real and the fantastical. Drawing threads from the veins of literature, mythology, and science, Fei assembles alternative histories and speculative futures in which nature and technological infrastructure remain caught in unresolved entanglements. Fei’s select group exhibitions include Art Must Be Artificial: Perspectives of AI in the Visual Arts (Diriyah Art Futures, Riyadh, 2024), SCI-FI: Mythologies Transformed (Science Gallery Melbourne, Melbourne, 2024), National Gallery of Victoria Triennial (National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, 2024), New Eden: Science Fiction Mythologies Transformed (ArtScience Museum, Singapore，2023), Science Fiction and Hallucination (MAXXI Museum, Rome, 2022), Immaterial / Re-material: A Brief History of Computing Art (UCCA Beijing, Beijing, 2020) and Resistance of the Sleepers (UCCA Dune, Qinhuangdao, 2020). She received her bachelor’s degree from Fudan University, School of Journalism, and earned her MFA in Design and Technology from the Parsons School of Design, The New School.
