Jennis li cheng tien biography

One to Watch

Jennis Cheng Tien Li was born in Taiwan, and currently lives and works in Berlin, Germany.

She received her degree in Interactive Media Design from Temasek Polytechnic, Singapore (2003). After working in advertising for several years she moved to Germany, where she received her MFA in Public Art and New Artistic Strategies from Bauhaus University of Weimar, Germany in 2010.

Jennis’ ongoing series, entitled “HAVE A NICE DAY,” is comprised of digital collages of random pictures of anonymous people sourced from the internet.

She reprocesses the found images, and with the aid of digital manipulation, the features of her subjects become completely unrecognizable. Her series is therefore a form of digital recycling; it also offers a satirical take on how society’s perception of beauty is influenced by digitally altered images of people.

Numerous works from the series have been featured in various magazines and websites,
