Iris Chun-Tzu Chang is an artist and researcher currently based in Taiwan.
Like sound as clay, Iris crafts her work through drawing, poetry, installation, field recording, and improvised performance. Exploring embodied perception at the thresholds between the tangible / intangible, audible / inaudible, conscious / subconscious, her art practices aspire to weave a passage through which experience itself may unfold and be heard.
Her works have been exhibited and performed both at home and abroad. In 2020, her piece “moon tide lullaby: fragility of sonic memory” won the First Prize in the Nanying Awards (new media category). In 2023, her listening score / poem “Listen Like A Stone” was shortlisted for Best Imagined Sound at the Sound of the Year Awards 2022. She was selected as the resident writer at the Taiwan Literature Base for the fall of 2023, and in the same year, she was awarded the 17th “Wanderer Project” grant from the Cloud Gate Foundation.
Iris initiates a long-term practice-based research What is it like to be an ear of_? exploring more-than-human listening and imaginary sound. She has facilitated deep listening / sonic drawing / event scores workshops and lectures since 2021.
