Jingjing is a multimedia conceptual artist who frequently employs experimental narrative techniques to present a possible future infused with absurd imaginings and humor, juxtaposing contradictory facets to refract and challenge unresolved historical issues. 

In this realm, she contemplates and delves into the essence of personal politics, absence, gender, death, philosophy, dynamics of power, and trauma. Her works serve not only as invitations to meditative introspection but also as interventions into how we exist and love in our present lives, how we find meaning related to our own experiences.

Through her multidisciplinary practice, she utilizes objects, language, imagery, and drama to inquire into our roles and responsibilities as interdependent beings within our shared environment and the impact of media on contemporary culture. She delves deep into the complexities of technological neocolonialism, exploring the possibilities of constructing the future from challenging realities within a "non-place" global context. Her artwork spans installation, video, sound, animation, light, performance, sculpture, painting, drawing, coding, mixed media, and photography.

Lin's large-scale (take up to 26000 sqf. museum space) solo show: I Want to Be With You Forever, was curated by Li Xianting, the renowned independent art critic and curator of contemporary Chinese art, known as the “Godfather of Chinese contemporary avant-garde” for Song Zhuang Art Museum in Beijing (2009).

Richard Vine, managing editor from Art in America wrote about her work: 

“In paintings, altered objects and installations, she addresses some of the most wrenching themes imaginable—death, loss, loneliness, betrayal— with remarkable sophistication and restraint, even at times a touch of humor. Her contribution to contemporary art is thus two-fold. She couples a focus on individual experience (in what has for centuries been a collectivist culture) with art-making of unassuming skill. The amalgam generates a distinct form of beauty—existentialism melded with subdued artistry and permeated with simple human care. In short, Lin’s vision is compassionate, transcultural, and mature.” 

 

Lov-Lov is a fictitious artist identity invented by Lin Jingjing in 2024, as an amorphous vessel of art creation. Inspired by the versatility and fluidity of artificial intelligence, Lov-Lov is a self-defined entity free of physical indicators and binary definitions such as age, gender, or ethnicity. An isolation of the transhumanist capabilities enabled by contemporary technology, Lov-Lov aims to be a noumenal mimesis of consciousness that peeks behind the veil of empirical reality.
