Yu-Jung CHEN
Dynamic Loop-Modulating Algorithm
April 8–April 30, 2023

Dynamic Loop-Modulating Algorithm is a research project devoted to exploring the accumulation and superposition of natural mountains and rivers. Just as Deleuze mentioned in the book “Difference and Repetition,” the “folds” are in a state of rheology, in the process of deposition of natural rock formations, and the accumulated textures form complex reincarnations. “Folds” refers to a physical presence that escapes reality and moves towards an endless time loop in the future and the past. The stacking layers of vision and sound shape the heterogeneous experience and variation in body perception. Yu-Jung uses this as the technical and conceptual basis for the construction of visual and auditory experience, and uses”superposition” as the basic propositional framework to explore the visible and invisible images in the natural environment. This process enables him to expand the boundaries of hearing and vision to experience the landscape that has never disappeared in life.

Yu-Jung CHEN is sponsored by the National Culture and Arts Foundation in Taiwan.

About the artist:

Now based in Tainan, Taiwan. CHEN Yu-Jung is a sound and intermedia artist. His artworks mainly focus on contemporary composition, experimental improvisation, and mixed media. Through the translation of sound narrative, his works induce the intermediary state of the human body in time and space. At the same time, he opens up the body’s perceptual experience as a system connecting inner emotions with outer space. Most of Chen’s recent artworks spring from space, individual emotion and the psychological experiences involved. Currently, he focuses on the interaction of visuals and sound associated with natural space. As a usual material in creating, “light” constructs the context and axis of his works, and the corresponding relationship between time and space. He extends the interpretation of light to the relationship between the viewer’s body and memory.

In recent years, he has conducted resident creations and exhibitions in Taiwan and abroad, including New Zealand, Netherlands, South Korea, Japan, United Kingdom, United State, Germany, etc. In 2022, he was selected in ZKM Giga-Hertz Production Awards (Germany).
