Poyuan Juan, based in Taipei, is an artist, gamer, and internet enthusiast focused on digital games, cyberspace, and cybeerqueer, with digital archaeology at the core of his work. His inspiration stems from growing up in the post-Internet era, influenced by new browsers and online communities. He incorporates aesthetics and visual experiences from games as key creative sources. His work integrates elements of online games, communities, machinima, game engines, and digital technology, aiming to create new visual experiences and rethink digital. With a background in visual arts, he reflects on digital technology through sculpture, painting, and printmaking, questioning the meta-settings of the post-Internet era. Recently, his works delve into the digital objects behind interfaces, exploring how digitalization reshapes our perception in today’s world.

Poyuan Juan has held solo exhibitions at the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, Taipei Digital Art Center, and Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts, and has also exhibited and screened works at the Athens Digital Arts Festival, Milan Machinima Festival, Videotage(HK), videoclub(UK), and Museum of Contemporary Art Taipei.
