Ting-Chia Wu (he/him) is an artist and researcher currently based in Berlin and Vienna. His work—both theoretical and practice-led—examines the production of meaning performed through moving images within their material, historical, social, and ecological conditions.

Grounded in media and critical theory, Ting-Chia Wu explores intersecting systems of ongoing governmentality and biopolitics in the age of digital globalization, including socioeconomic extractivism, gender/ethnic/racial discrimination, technological surveillance, and neoliberal self-entrepreneurship. Through film, performance, video installation, and digital image production, he investigates—within the post-cinematographic landscape—how the real and fantasy converge in a hypermediated world, in correlation with systemic violence, power, and control.

Ting-Chia Wu holds a BA in Fine Arts from the National Taiwan University of Arts, a DNSEP (MFA) from École supérieure d’art et design Le Havre–Rouen, and an MA in Ecology of Arts and Media from the University of Paris VIII. He is currently a research member of the Structured Doctoral Program Performing Matters: Manifold Temporalities at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna.

His works have been presented internationally, including at DFF – Deutsches Filminstitut & Filmmuseum (Frankfurt, 2023), Berliner Ringtheater (Berlin, 2022), the International Festival Coral Island (Okinawa, 2016), Musée des Beaux-Arts and Musée des Antiquités (Rouen, 2019), Château-Musée (Dieppe, 2018), Palais Jacques-Cœur (Bourges, 2015), and Nanhai Gallery (Taipei, 2016).
