Cherry Song (b.2000) is a Chinese artist based in London working at the intersection of art and science. Cherry’s practice explores themes from technology to nature, philosophy to religion, and fundamental physical and metaphorical elements taken from ancient wisdom. Her practice is undergoing a constant metamorphosis, where stimulating chaotic thoughts enrich her practice with interconnected concepts and understandings. Cherry weaves fiction with science, reimagines the 'functioning' world and system, and explores how idiosyncrasies engage with the fantastical. She often collaborates with other life forms in her practice, in which they have their own freedom and consciousness for their own chosen direction.
