ABOUT
Shuyu Wen is an artist, currently living in Shanghai.
ARTIST STATEMENT
Wen Shuyu’s practice explores how belief, perception, and intimacy take shape in an age of algorithmic drift, fractured attention, and unverifiable signals. She constructs pseudo-evidential environments—immersive spaces that mimic credibility while quietly suspending proof.
Through poetic sabotage, misused fragments, and fictional logic, her work operates like cybernetic witchcraft: summoning collective faith from instability. Humor becomes a soft weapon, speculation a method, as her installations probe how ambiguity and affect generate provisional truths in a post-verification world.
