Über mich

Ting-Chun Liu (Taipeh, Taiwan) ist Künstler, dessen Praxis und Forschung an den Schnittstellen von kritischer künstlicher Intelligenz, audiovisuellen Medien und Netzwerkpraxis angesiedelt sind. Indem er technologische Systeme mit feedbackbasierten Interventionen seziert, untersucht er, wie sich Wahrnehmung, Ästhetik und Machtverhältnisse durch computergestützte Prozesse fortpflanzen.
