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.

CAPTCHA has often been described as an arms race between humans and machines, simultaneously restricting machine capabilities while training them to understand the world through images and text. The process appears as a form of mutual consumption: humans and nonhumans devour each other’s outputs in the act of feeding and confirming.

In this interaction, humans sometimes operate almost like machines, automatically offering their understanding of the world as samples for nonhumans to learn and grow. How does this transformation of the human-machine compound influence human subjectivity?

CAPTCHA被形容為一種軍備競賽,其目的有2個:在限制機器人的同時訓練它們以圖片和問字來理解世界。以「驗證是否為人類」作為一個人機之間交互的案例,人和機器在CAPTCHA驗證中是不斷相互吞噬的過程,有時候人類本身像是機器般運作,自動的提供自身所認識的世界樣本並使機器學習與成長。人機混合後的變化如何反應在人類主體上?虛擬中的透明巨大的網如何反射到現實中?
