Who Am I
Meng Shengyu (Simon Meng) is a cutting-edge artist and researcher dedicated to interdisciplinary integration. Through the organic combination of artificial intelligence, ecology, and art, he deeply explores the interactive symbiotic relationship between humans and non-human intelligences. His academic background spans design, computation, and art, with extensive involvement in educational, commercial, and cultural projects, advocating for an art philosophy centered on universal resonance.
His works have been showcased in international exhibitions in London, Venice, Shanghai, and more, earning widespread acclaim for their unique interpretations of cultural and non-human system characteristics. He has taught AI application-related courses at renowned institutions like University College London and is currently pursuing a PhD at the University of Innsbruck in Austria. Additionally, he is active on the cross-platform social media "Simon’s Daydream," sharing insights on AIGC tools and creation, aiming to pioneer new paradigms of artistic and design practices through artificial intelligence.

Series of Works
Boundless Intelligence
"Boundless Intelligence" is an experimental project that transcends disciplinary boundaries, exploring design and artistic creation under the interaction of diverse intelligences. By integrating cutting-edge AI tools, visual works, and autonomous creative agents, the project challenges the traditional boundaries of interspecies intelligence collaboration, constructing a novel creative model in the post-human era that resonates with the pluralistic coexistence and infinite possibilities of a future multi-intelligent society.
Micro Cosmos
"MicroCosmos" is an artistic project focused on the grand reconstruction of information at the micro scale. By merging AI technology with the artist's insights, the project reinterprets microscopic elements, leading viewers to rediscover the "non-image" in the minutiae and redefine what is "real." It challenges our traditional perceptions of reality, revealing infinite possibilities and profound beauty within the seemingly mundane micro world.
Dimensional Recasting
The "Dimensional Recasting" series explores the intersection of compatibility between reality dimensions and imagination. By applying the concept of dimensional transformation to artistic and design creation, the project utilizes "embedding" technology from deep learning to present a computational aesthetic of dimensional conversion. The works reconstruct and combine objects across different dimensions, attempting to express and expand our perceptual boundaries in new ways, revealing the unknown possibilities hidden within the multi-dimensional world.
RE-Imaginate Nature
"RE-Imaginate Nature" deeply explores nature as a symbiotic entity closely coupled with humanity, rather than a pristine realm outside of it. In the ongoing process of human self-transformation in pursuit of development, artificial intelligence is introduced to redefine natural elements, opening up new possibilities for expression in design and art. By guiding humans and AI to interact collaboratively with nature, this project reinterprets the symbiotic relationship between humanity and nature, revealing innovative pathways for deep integration between people and the natural world in the future.
