Bahasa Indonesia
Chen Wei-Chen, lahir di Taipei pada tahun 1993, tinggal dan bekerja di Taipei. Praktiknya berfokus pada patung dan instalasi, dengan titik awal pada material keseharian serta hubungan antara materialitas, pengalaman visual digital, dan identitas budaya. Melalui pergantian material, pergeseran bentuk, dan ironi yang halus, benda-benda yang familiar dilepaskan dari fungsi serta cara pandang konvensionalnya.
Dalam kerangka Material Polyphony: Traces of Labor, Order, and Transformation, Chen menggunakan material produksi massal seperti ubin keramik untuk merespons logika repetisi, susunan, dan pengodean dalam era digital. Melalui pemotongan, rekonfigurasi, kemiringan, dan pelapisan, material fisik mengambil bentuk yang menyerupai citra digital, namun tetap mempertahankan jejak glasir, nat, dan proses fabrikasi. Dengan demikian, tatanan industri, kerja material, dan persepsi digital saling berkelindan dalam karyanya.
EnglishChen Wei-Chen, born in Taipei in 1993, lives and works in Taipei. Working primarily with sculpture and installation, his practice begins with everyday materials and explores the relationship between materiality, digital visual experience, and cultural identity. Through material substitution, formal displacement, and subtle irony, familiar objects are removed from their conventional functions and ways of being perceived.
Within Material Polyphony: Traces of Labor, Order, and Transformation, Chen works with serially produced materials such as ceramic tiles to reflect on the logics of repetition, arrangement, and coding in the digital age. Through cutting, reconfiguration, tilting, and layering, physical materials take on the appearance of digitally manipulated images while retaining traces of glaze, grout, and fabrication. Industrial order, material labor, and digital perception are thus brought into continuous tension.
