Vi Trinh graduated from the University of Richmond in 2019 with a B.A. in Visual and Media Arts Practice & Leadership. A Vietnamese-American artist based in D.C. she works in digital and traditional media to examine the relationship between ecological and social patterns.

She synthesizes data to confront ideas of colonialism and white supremacy within our current social context. Her work explores ideas of rich aesthetics in ecological emergencies and the temporal reality created by large-scale phenomena. Much of her work is based in the internet and comes from the ethos of the internet as an illusionary space and the interaction with its interface. The internet as it appears; democratic, and free, and the reality of exclusionary design by the very few and the profits they gain from it. It has become the new ground of a very old problem. Between the environment and people, the disenfranchised and society, the user and the internet.

She deconstructs exclusionary and pop aesthetics and the ideology created and peddled by them, and their use as a tool of powerful structures.
