Born in Taiwan, Ting Chia Wu (吳挺嘉) is a visual and performance artist, as well as a cultural researcher currently based between Berlin and Vienna. His work—both theoretical and practice-led—examines the politics of representation and the production of knowledge within time-based media.
Rooted in personal experience, Ting Chia explores intersecting systems of patriarchal and digital-capitalist oppression, including extractive economies, ecological and gender crises, and technological surveillance. Through performance, contemporary image-making, and artistic research, he investigates how fact and fiction converge in lives shaped by the systemic violence of modernity and deep historical entanglements.
He holds a degree in Fine Arts from the National Taiwan University of Arts and a Master’s in the Ecology of Art & Media from the University of Paris 8. From 2025 to 2029, he will be a scholarship recipient and research member of the Structured Doctoral Program Performing Matters: Manifold Temporalities at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna.
His performance work has been presented internationally, including at the DFF – Deutsches Filminstitut & Filmmuseum (Frankfurt, 2023), Berliner Ringtheater (Berlin, 2022), and the International Festival Coral Island (Okinawa, 2016). His visual work has appeared in group exhibitions at the Musée des Beaux-Arts and Musée des Antiquités (Rouen, 2019), Château-Musée (Dieppe, 2018), Palais Jacques-Cœur (Bourges, 2015), and Nanhai Gallery (Taipei, 2016).
