Chengtao Yi, an interdisciplinary artist from China, is currently based in New York. Through his artistic lens, Yi examines the cultural and spiritual state of the world by closely observing the history and significance of man-made objects. His creative practice delves into the inception, production, distribution, consumption, and modularity of these objects within complex systems.

Yi's exploration revolves around the ontology of ordinary objects, encompassing both physical and virtual realms, and their connections to diverse technological and cultural contexts that shape their existence and materiality. In his current artistic endeavors, Yi employs a range of media including sculpture, installation, photography, video, and digital platforms. Through these mediums, he constructs specific visual and conceptual narratives that allow for critical discussions, speculation, and the manifestation of his artistic arguments.
