Ding Ruyi is a MA Fine Art graduate of Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London. Ding is a London-based artist working in installation, moving image, performance and painting. Inspired by her nuanced observation and experience of the surroundings, most of her research and practice focus on a series of social issues, including surveillance, power relations and  consumerism. Through her interactive installations, she allows the spectators to experience, question and criticize the ideologies that we take for granted. Her works have been exhibited in Shanghai, New York and London.
