Jingtian Zong is an artist-researcher who roams the wormholes of technology, memory, censorship, and invisible bodies through a diasporic feminist perspective.

Jingtian graduated from NYU Shanghai with a BS in Interactive Media Arts (IMA) in 2019, reflecting on and . Awarded an IMA fellowship, she stayed in Shanghai for three years, during which she erased faces in socialist China, on unoccupied post-pandemic streets, signs of micropolitics in local neighborhoods, and with academic red tape.

In the summer of 2022, Jingtian relocated to California for her MFA studies in Environmental Art and Social Practice (EASP) at UC Santa Cruz. As part of her migration, she lived and investigated in the American highway dream. 

Jingtian’s most recent work focuses on alternative cyberfeminist imaginations. Combining artistic research, writing, and , she questions how cyborgs and glitches would survive a tightened cyberspace, inviting awareness and workarounds on censorship-induced data loss for a sustainable feminist future.
