Weng Wei Hsiang is an artist/researcher who is working at the sensory derived realities between human and non-human perception such as technology and other species to examine how we share, co-produce and sense time and space. Employing materials such as light, sound, and data, he constructs devices, situations, and experimental set-ups within spatial and landscape setting. These set-ups often play the role of both observer and creator, providing renewed perspectives of dynamic situations and living systems, and the relationships create a dissonance that leads to unpredictable outcomes which test how physical movement, sensory engagement and the interaction of the body and brain influence our perception of our environment.
Wei Hsiang was awarded Kaohsiung Arts Award and was one of the artists selected to take part at Reshaping History – China Youth New Art; in addition, he has also been invited to the Asian Art Biennial and The Avant/Garde Diaries Taipei by Mercedes-Benz. He is currently working in the UK.
