Chen Haohao

I work as an artist, writer and AI aesthetic designer. My practice moves between art history, criticism, digital art and generative image systems.

I am interested in how technologies of reproduction reshape the existence of art: from images and objects to concepts, processes, and information systems.

Trained in oil painting and art history, I work with images and texts as well as aesthetic vocabularies, training data and prompts. My research on conceptual art and dematerialization develops alongside this practice.
