Profile

Sheng Shi (b. 2003, Jilin, China) is a conceptual artist working across installation, text, and intervention. Based in London, their practice examines how platform capitalism colonises attention, manufactures consensus, and privatises psychological distress. The work makes visible the structures through which truth, attention, and imagination are monopolised.

Recent projects include Grok, Is This True?, examining AI's authority in legitimising conspiracy theories, and Point of Interest, a subjective mapping of urban advertising that exposes legal asymmetries between corporate billboards and graffiti.

Sheng Shi studied at the Fine Arts School Affiliated to China Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing (2019–2022), and completed a BA Fine Art (Extension) at Goldsmiths, University of London (2022–2026).
