About

Ailin Xu (b. 2002, China) is an artist working across video, installation, photography, and graphic design. She holds a BA from the Central Academy of Fine Arts and an MA from the Royal College of Art. Her practice employs a poetic visual language to explore how technology intervenes in and reshapes human society and the natural environment, both in the present and in imagined futures.

ashes of speed

Ashes of Speed is a response to this condition — a quiet resistance to the culture of acceleration. Rooted in both cultural observation and personal emotion, the work uses a slow, amplified audiovisual language to interrupt the rhythm of speed. It seeks to carve out a moment of contemplation amidst the non-stop momentum of modern life.
