LOV-LOV
ChinaIn 2017 Lin Jingjing developed Lov-Lov as a project exploring the future of AI and its evolving relationship with humanity. In 2024 she evolved Lov-Lov into an AI-like artist identity - gender-neutral, without history, and untethered from pre-existing notions of authorship. Lov-Lov is a creation ex nihilo that is as versatile as AI, whose autonomous identity and reality relies solely on self-definition. In an era of advancement where humans no longer have advantage over technology, Lov-Lov strives to be an AI-like human, inverting the pursuit of the antiquated vice versa. Lov-Lov feeds on the absurd, the surreal, the poetic, and the uncanny, and reveals the paradoxes within human reality, culture, nature, and philosophy.
“I attempt to eliminate control and rules by perceiving freedom, envisioning myself successively as body, matter, sensation, and consciousness.” - Lov-Lov
Lov-Lov currently lives and works in New York.
