Randy Yang, born in 1993, grew up surrounded by user interfaces at the computer desk and tangled signal and power cables behind the TV cabinet. His work explores the networks created by the interactions between objects, and between objects and people within a space, focusing on the transduction of energy, audience intervention in exhibition spaces, and the media archaeology that informs his creative process. He refers to his works as "Sound Oriented Dynamic Devices." These self-made kinetic structures, combined with sensor modules, deliberately challenge the modern pursuit of technological efficiency by embracing obsolete media and unconventional approaches. Through noise, short circuits, and audience interaction, he resists, disrupts, and circumvents the instantaneous responses that modern technology imposes on the body.
In addition to participating in various group and solo exhibitions, Randy worked as an assistant in the studio of artist Wu Tien-chang from 2019 to 2021. From 2017 to 2018, he served as an alternative military service member at the Siao-Long Cultural Park in Tainan, interacting with artists from various regions. In 2018, he worked as an assistant to foreign curators at the Tainan International Foto Festival. In 2023, he received the "13th New York Travel Grant" from the School of Fine Arts, Taipei National University of the Arts, allowing him to conduct creative research in New York.
