Mingyong Cheng, originally from Beijing and now based in California, is an interdisciplinary artist working at the intersection of AI, generative art, and environmental research. She holds an MFA in Experimental and Documentary Arts from Duke University and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Art Practice and Art History at the University of California, San Diego, with a focus on interdisciplinary environmental studies. Mingyong’s work bridges computational media arts and speculative ecology, emphasizing the co-creativity of generative artificial intelligence in the artistic process. Her research explores how generative AI can act as a collaborative partner, producing ecological art that transforms our understanding of and relationship with nature and the environment. By engaging AI as a co-creative force, her practice reimagines the boundaries of creativity and its potential to address contemporary ecological challenges. Her work has been exhibited internationally at leading venues, including at ACM SIGGRAPH Asia, the SIGGRAPH Digital Art Community, the Annual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS), the International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA), and the IEEE / CVF Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Conference (CVPR), as well as in other global art and technology forums.
