/ bio


Pei-Yao Chang is a media artist, researcher and novice freediver currently based in London and Taiwan. Her practice investigates space(s) and the implication of embodied experiences based on gravitation from land and her weightless freediving journey. As such, fascinated by sensation, movement and perception, she investigates and explores embodied cognition.

Her work uses a specific spatial context, and employs material exploration, painting, documentation and installation to interrogate the ways humans perceive and engage with their surroundings both actively and passively, attempting to comprehend the Earth’s characteristics, and the connection of human and non-human interaction.
