Ting-Chia Wu is an artist and researcher currently based in Berlin and Vienna. His work examines the politics of images and the meaning production circulating 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 digital age, including socioeconomic extractivism, gender/ethnic/racial discrimination, technological surveillance, and neoliberal self-entrepreneurship. Through writing, performance, video installation, and digital image production, he investigates how the real and the imaginary converge in a hypermediated world, in relation to systemic violence, power, and control.
Ting-Chia Wu holds a BA in Fine Arts from the National Taiwan University of Arts 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).
