Hyperimage Group was founded in 2018 with three members (Dong Bingfeng, Xiang Zairong, Teng Yuning) from different artistic and academic backgrounds that range from curation, art history, iconology, film studies, philosophy, religious studies and other interdisciplinary areas of inquiry. The aim of the group is to critically assess the current landscape of image research, move beyond image itself - the object of study in the traditional discipline of art history. By moving beyond the limits of social reality in which the practices and research of image are situated, the group investigates and invests in the application and interpretation of image through today’s society, intellectual history, and culture.
