Speakers
Chen-Yu Chen
Chen-Yu Chen now lives and works in Taipei. His works look into the landscapes under the construction of digital industrialization and globalization of Capital, and the inter-activities between humans, commodities, and image. Working with moving images, objects, and installations, his practice often juxtaposes various media and examines how beliefs, desires, and anxieties are materially distributed in social production. His works, on the one hand, depict the phenomena created by re/production, consumption, and extraction, on the other hand, explore the interpenetrative relationship and boundary between humans, objects, and the environment. He has participated in residency programs at Jan van Eyck Academie, the European Ceramic Work Centre, the Watermill Center in New York, and Geumcheon Art Space in Seoul.His works were exhibited in the Taipei Arts Award, Hong Kong Art Center, Ashkal Alwan Beruit, Seoul Art Space Geumcheon, Kasseler Dokfest, Denver Film Festival, and Lisbon International Film Festival.
