Speaker Bio

▌Candy Bird
Born in 1982 in Taipei, Taiwan, Candy Bird comes from a second-generation mainland Chinese family that arrived in Taiwan around 1949. Growing up amid geopolitical tensions, he frequently faced ideological conflicts and familial struggles while forming his Taiwanese identity. His art is around the concept of “gaps,” focusing on marginality and the gray areas between opposing forces. Beginning with street graffiti and murals, his practice has evolved into painting, video art, and lecture performances, integrating literature, existentialist philosophy, and social psychology to address complex contemporary political and social contexts.
▌CHEN Ting-Jung
CHEN Ting-Jung’s artistic practice is rooted in investigations of entangled cultural-political semiotics. Within the multiple narratives unfolding in the works, the artist expresses her social concerns about the transformations of identity and the political tensions between groups influenced by propaganda and differing ideologies. She especially pays attention to how sounds, the hearing experiences that arouse diverse personal affections and group togetherness, have been instrumentalized and weaponized by those in power. By citing historical events, investigating their distortion through interviews and field recordings, and reproducing cultural artifacts, she reflects on the formality of collective memory and its processes of empowerment. In doing so, the artist explores the transduction and fixation of contextualization and depicts overlapping cultures mingling into a spatial atlas.
▌SHEN Bo-Yi
SHEN Bo-Yi explores the intervals of the world—contemporary art, rhythmanalysis, affective technologies, atmospheric experience, aesthetic attention, and alternative knowledge production. Currently a Ph.D. student in the Department of Fine Arts at Taipei National University of the Arts, their research engages with the unseen, the accidental, the paradoxical, the contradictory, and the untimely, rather than the expected.
