ABOUT
吳玶萭 WU PIN-YU
Born in Taichung, Taiwan, Wu graduated from the Department of Power Mechanics at Tsinghua University and the Institute of Applied Arts at Yang Ming Chiao Tung University. Before pursuing art, Wu worked as a mechanical design engineer. Currently, Wu is studying Arts and Humanities at the Royal College of Art, where their practice explores the intersections of mechanical systems and digital media.
Wu’s works draw on social phenomena and human behavior, weaving together knowledge and forms across disciplines to spark deeper reflection on contemporary society and life. Centered on human wellbeing within the co-evolution of humanity and technology, Wu’s practice seeks to integrate art into everyday experience and to expand its impact within the structures of contemporary art.
Wu was awarded the Gold Medal in the Mixed Media category at the 112th National Art Exhibition, participated in the 2022 Taipei Digital Art Festival, and was selected for the Hsinchu City as Museum Design Co-creating Program.
