Mingyong Cheng, originally from Beijing, China, is now a California-based new media artist, deeply entrenched in AI and generative art. Currently a Ph.D. student in Art Practice at the University of California, San Diego, she integrates visual arts with a keen specialization in Interdisciplinary Environmental Research, collaborating closely with the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Mingyong's recent foray since 2021 into the realm of generative AI, for her, AI isn't merely an instrument but a partner in creativity, reshaping historical perspectives and envisioning the future. Equipped with an MFA from Duke University, Mingyong has adeptly navigated from documentary filmmaking to an expansive array of experimental arts, capturing the essence of our shared experiences through innovative mediums.
