Aka Chang (TW)

Aka Chang (born 1979, Taipei) is a Taiwanese media artist whose work explores the expressive potential of light. At the beginning of his career, he focused on the relationship between music and light. Over time, however, his practice evolved towards increasingly pared-back visual compositions built around a single light source. This process of reduction has become a defining feature of his work. Through experimentation with light, smoke and a range of optical materials, Aka Chang creates distinctive new media installations and three-dimensional environments that investigate how light, sound, time and space shape human perception.

In recent years, he has produced a number of interactive audiovisual works combining different optical media, including Void Jungle, Struct by Kindling (2018), and the Multimmersion series (2017–2021). His work has also received international recognition. In 2008, Rainforest of Oslo was shortlisted for the Taipei Digital Art Awards, while June Orbs was nominated for the Kaohsiung Awards in 2020. His latest audiovisual concert, December Nite, premiered at the National Taichung Theater in April 2024.
