Yen Tzu CHANG
Grants
To explore advanced sound synthesis techniques, AI applications in sound creation, and connections between ecology and sound art. Chang’s fellowship will focus on exchanges with peer professionals, immersion in New York’s sound art scene, and fieldwork documenting urban soundscapes. She aims to meet with sound artists, curators, and art and technology institutions to better understand how New York’s artists create in such a diverse, urbanized environment, the issues they address, and how sound artists intervene in public spaces. Engaging with biologists and environmental researchers and documenting local soundscapes, Chang seeks to explore urban animal conditions and sound as ecological documentation. She hopes the fellowship will yield new perspectives for her practice, bring Taiwanese ecological concerns and sonic aesthetics into global dialogue, and foster cross-border connections.

Transparent Boundary
August 07, 2026 - August 09, 2026
Transparent Boundary is a 35-minute immersive contemporary music and new media installation performance that explores the ecological phenomenon of bird "window strikes". By constructing a sensory experimental space utilizing sound, wind flow, and kinetic installations, the audience is invited to move freely through the venue, following bird songs and traversing the gap between the visible and the invisible.
Driven by a live collaborative performance featuring percussionist Yen-Hsuan Wu and Guzheng musician Hsin Fang, interwoven with electronic sound and installations, Transparent Boundary translates the birds' encounter with invisible barriers into a metaphor for the human psyche. Through exploring this "invisible trauma," the work seeks to cross species boundaries and find a shared resonance within our collective vulnerability.
