Born in Taipei/Taiwan, currently based in London/UK.

Shu Wei Chang (b. 1998, Taipei) is currently in her final year of the MFA Fine Art at Goldsmiths, University of London. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Taipei National University of the Arts (2021) and studied as an exchange student at Tama Art University in Tokyo (2019).

Exploring the possible forms of digital gadgets as non-human yet intelligent beings through sculptures, 3D modeling, moving images, and mixed media drawings, Shu’s practice navigates the in-betweenness of human and non-human interactions. Delving into human-machine hybridity, her work examines Internet phenomena and the properties of technological devices, aiming to navigate the present and future without excessive anticipation or fear, fostering an open and dynamic engagement with our technologically mediated world.

How do portable personal devices become prostheses for their human users? Could the combination of humans and wired or wireless earphones—such a common sight on the road—be considered an evolutionary extension of our bodies? Rudimentary organs still exist within us, reflecting the coexistence of evolution and devolution—a recursive and continuous mixture. Imagining fragments of the corporeal body as potential components of new hybrids, Sync explores the transformations of both body and environment that occur when connecting to ear devices, as we repeatedly shift between modes and connections.

隨身的科技裝置如何在日常生活中成為人類使用者的義肢？人+有線/無線耳機—路上常見的合體風景—是否作為身體的進化型態？目前肉體上仍殘留著痕跡器官，進化與退化是共存的模式，不斷遞歸且混合。想像這具混合新身體切片的廢退器官的其中一個可能性，試想連接到耳機時的身體及環境空間變化：切換模式、連接、切換模式。
