Jung Hsu is a Taiwanese researcher and new media artist based in Berlin. She attempts to combine interdisciplinary knowledge with artistic research to create heterogeneous encounters. Throughout her education and life, she has consistently sought to respond to the current social situation from multiple perspectives, using metaphorical objects to create speculative scenarios. Her recent work has focused on micro-biopolitics and social movements.
Working in an interdisciplinary and collaborative manner is always the artist’s preferred method and goal: to gain situated perspectives, respond to the complexity of society, and hopefully seek common ground through artistic practice. Jung Hsu is currently working on a project about temporary and historical monuments and hopes to gain insight into the local context of transformational justice in Lithuania during her residency. The artist has an ongoing project, “Resistance Simulation,” which collects resistance events in different cities and simulates them in a generative format. She hopes to create a version of this project in Vilnius as well.
She is the Golden Nica winner of Ars Electronica 2022, Art & Science winner of Falling Walls 2023, and was nominated by Tagesspiegel for “Die 100 wichtigsten Köpfe der Berliner Wissenschaft.”
Jung Hsu’s residency is organized in collaboration with the Taipei Digital Art Center and the Taipei Representative Office in Germany.
The activities of SODAS 2123 are supported by the Lithuanian Council for Culture and Vilnius city municipality.
