Wei-Hsiang Weng
‘Puddles’ are 3D printed sculptures of a latent landscape generated by machines’ mis-recognition of street puddles. The inverted reflections of surroundings in the puddles are sometimes
interpreted by machines as part of their perceptible reality. I borrow this cognitive imperfectness of artificial intelligence as a potential way of seeing, in which it bypasses human ontological
understanding of our surroundings, thereby revisiting the daily corner of the environment we are within.
Wei-Hsiang Weng is an artist based between Taipei and London. His practice explores the relation between people, technology and space. Largely concerned with interventions in civic space and the issues of future landscapes, his work of interconnected systems is manifest in sculpture, installation and architecture. Wei-Hsiang received first prize in Kaohsiung Arts Award (Taiwan) and was one of the artists selected to take part in Terra Carta Design Lab (UK), and Reshaping History - China Youth New Art (China).
