SUN Chih-Hsing

SUN Chih-Hsing (b. 1994), graduated from Taipei National University of the Arts in 2015, now studies at Graduate Institute of Trans-disciplinary Arts. His unique perspective pieces up little stories in everyday life and imagination, by layering contradictory elements between the sense of speed and the dislocation of space, absurdity and rationality, etc, creating credible experiments in this seeming absurdity. In breaking the foundation of conventional storytelling, SUN asks “could a cognitive misconception become a new perspective to understand culture?“. SUN has won various awards including CTBC Arts Award Taiwan 2019, Outstanding Art Prize of School of Fine Arts, Taiwan 2015.

Sid and Geri

Sid and Geri is an art group established in 2017. The group collaborates with different types of people around different cultures. By deploying various medium through video, animation, multi-media as well as space installation, their works show a unique sense of humor to express “the patterns around people”, reflect the daily living experience, provide a fantasy-like narrative, by using visual and sound stimulation to show the absurd, frantic, and meaningless appearance of this era.

Witaya Junma

As an artist, Witaya Junma is enthusiastic about applying fresh approaches to his art and also has explored various branches of science in creating his work. Technology and machinery have thus become a significant part of Witaya‘s art. To him, they are products of the observation or imitation of nature. In other words, they are replicas of living things, and their creator is us, humans. The main role of technology and the machine is to make our lives easier, however, if technology and machinery are offered a place in the art world and give them different roles, from telling stories to amplifying expressions, Witaya believes we can create new art forms. And if they are used wisely, technology and machines can help convey the artist’s objectives more effectively than convention.
