Chen Zhihao, was born in 1995 in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, currently lives and works in Hangzhou. He received both a bachelor's and a master's degree in Art Engineering and Technology from the China Academy of Art. He is a member of the International Dynamic Art Association and is currently a Ph.D. candidate in Public Space Art Department at the China Academy of Art.

His artistic practice has long explored creative inspiration within the tension between “primitive sensory perception” and “cognition in the digital age.” He enjoys using natural media such as water, light, and mist, combined with digital media technologies, to create sensory scenes or contexts that transcend everyday experience. Some of his works are placed in natural and cultural public spaces, exploring artistic insight through encounters with those environments.
