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 practice aspires to weave a passage through which experience itself may unfold and be heard.
Her works have been exhibited and performed both locally and internationally. Her listening score / poem Listen Like A Stone was shortlisted for Best Imagined Sound at the Sound of the Year Awards 2022. In 2023, she was awarded the 17th Wanderer Project grant from the Cloud Gate Foundation. In 2025, she was honoured with both the Next Art Tainan Award and the HOPAX Sustainable Environment Special Award at the Kaohsiung Award.
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 workshops and lectures on imaginative listening and sonic scoring since 2021.
