Te-Yen Hsu (b.1997) is a Taiwanese artist & designer, multimedia storyteller, and cyber cavewoman currently based URL-ly in these links: teyenhsu.com , @a_harmless_joke , and youtube.com/@yennyenski , IRL-ly in Eindhoven, the Netherlands.
She is drawn to the small cracks in coherent identity and totalizing systems.
Her practice focuses on tracing the subtle frictions hidden beneath the smooth surfaces of everyday life—those quiet ruptures that reveal the absurdities of the values and realities we’ve grown used to.
One of her favorite gestures is to create avatars across the internet, using the agency of a single human body.
Her work riffs on a bricolage of digital and physical material culture, weaving together fragments from both ancient and contemporary popular imagery. When she feels lost in this world, she follows the traces of her matriarchal ancestors.
She is obsessed with the hypertextuality embedded in all forms of storytelling, and always positions her own work as a single knot in this vast and tangled web.
徐德言於1997年出生台灣,是一個賽博洞人、採故事的人、設計師和藝術家。顯跡於這些網頁之中:teyenhsu.com,@a_harmless_joke,youtube.com/@yennyenski 以及歐洲、荷蘭、安荷芬。
