Yeh Ting-Hao - Future of the Past

In the subterranean world of Taiwan's multimedia art scene, even Yeh Ting-Hao is a bit of an enigma. He revels in physical and chemical minutiae of the natural world and bases his installation work upon obscure mathematical algorithms. The artist also rarely uses his real name in performances, preferring instead to work behind a variety of pseudonyms. We were extremely fortunate to feature Ting-Hao's work in “The Avant/Garde Diaires Taipei” event, and even more fortunate to have the opportunity to follow him around his hometown of Taipei. His is one of darkened alleyways, late-night electronic hobby shops, and art performances that challenge the uninitiated. Noir, seductively dystopian, and ambivalently under the radar, we invite you into the world of one of the most exciting artists working in Taiwan.

在台灣主流外的多媒體藝術圈中，葉廷豪算是個謎。他沈迷於自然界中存在的物理和化學上的小細節，而作品就以不太能理解的數學程式為主題。這位藝術人總是掛不同的假名在自己的表演中出現。我們很有榮幸在台北前衛日誌的的節目中展出他的作品。更特別的是能跟著他遊走台北，看他從暗巷、深夜裡的模型店、和藝術表演中挑戰不知情的大眾。我們邀請你進來這位台灣少數中最令人興奮的藝術家的黑色、反烏托邦且矛盾潛艀著的世界。
