Lina Deng

Interactive gaming installation

My work is a gaming experience made using Unity based on �Jiafei’s Hauntification’ – a VR project I undertook envisioning a fictional nightmare experienced by a conceived factory worker. The surreal simulated warehouse factory, as the site of racialised proletariat trauma, is haunted by the ghost Jiafei (taken from TikTok meme Jiafei) - a cyborg figurehead for cheap consumer goods.

She has an undergraduate degree in History of Art from UCL and has collaborated with BIPOC collective Close Isn’t Home for @digitalartistresidency as well as exhibited in group shows for @fetchish_net, Solo Show and AAIFF.
