Jin Jun hails from a cross-disciplinary background: Born to an oil painter father, he was introduced to fine arts at a young age. He studied nuclear electronics at Tsinghua University, and transferred to pursue a master's degree in art and design in the United States. Now the vice-dean and professor of School of Design, Central Academy of Fine Arts, Jin has invested much time in the advancement of digital art especially, in recent years, in regenerating classic Chinese art and cultural traditions.

Jin's ongoing exhibition at Guardian Art Center, The Interactive Ambience, shares his progress in the area to provide the audience an immersive travel through some of the best works in Chinese art history, with a philosophical contemplation.
