About
Haoyang (Avery) Jiao 焦浩洋 is a digital artist based in London, his background in fashion design has heavily influenced his artistic practice. He creates works that encompass a range of mediums and techniques, including 3D modeling, scene construction, animation production, and AR interaction. His art often explores political themes and social issues, particularly those related to LGBTQ+ rights and political expression.
Through his work, he seeks to engage viewers in critical conversations about the world we live in. He believes that art can be a powerful tool for social and political commentary, and his aim is to create work that challenges viewers to think deeply about their own beliefs and assumptions. He strives to create immersive digital worlds that invite viewers to explore and engage with his ideas. Each of his works is an invitation to contemplate the complex issues that shape our world.
In the world we live in today, countless tragedies and sufferings occur in every corner. None of us can guarantee that we will not be the next victim to be crushed by life's iron fist. We are controlled by an intangible force, and we must find a way to seek redemption. Pain and history must never be forgotten. It is in this context that my project takes root. During the initial stages of this project, I was inspired by Japanese RPG games and anime, which have accompanied me throughout my life and have continued to influence me. I seek to immerse the audience in my work by simulating a game experience. In my creative process, I have incorporated many metaphors of the real world. These metaphors include confusing mazes, hallucinogenic mushrooms, flowers that surveil us, televisions that broadcast fake news, hypocritical and cunning deities, lanterns that depend on good and bad fortune, city buildings like chessboards, and screens that record history. Through these metaphors, I aim to remind people not to forget history and to view the world we live in dialectically. I encourage them to question the invincible forces and to use their courage to guard their inner voices.
