Shen-Yuan Su is a new media artist, who is currently dedicated to digital art forms. He is interested in how digital media integrate interactive processes to manipulate and influence people’s perceptual experiences and their understanding of the world. Through his artistic practice, such as data visualization and interactive media arts, he challenges the superficial understanding that digital arts merely function as reflections of contemporary technological developments. He attempts to reconsider the impact of the interaction between digital environments and human beings in the modern world.
To emphasize the role of interactivity in the modern world, Su envisions his artwork as a platform to facilitate the conversation between traditional perspectives, modern digital cultures and user experiences. He argues for the interactivity between users and devices as the driving power for the evolution of knowledge systems in the 21st digital century.
