About/

Ting-Chun Liu (Taipei, Taiwan) is an artist whose practice and research operate at the intersections of critical artificial intelligence, audiovisual media, and network practice. Through dissecting technological systems with feedback-driven interventions, he examines how perception, aesthetics, and power dynamics propagate through computational processes.
