Just as water moves across bodies and generations, wind also carries traces of dust, pollutants, heat, and sound. Both are elemental mediums that transmit affect and history. Sound, like wind, is never fixed; it is an ephemeral relation, always changing as it moves through spaces, architectural gaps, and across the surface of the body.

Tzu Ni’s research will unfold as a site-specific, somatic, and philosophical exploration of wind within the urban structure. And also draws on traditional Eastern philosophies of qi, where wind is understood as both a vital and a disruptive force. In the classical Eastern medicine concept, wind is one of the “six evils”, it enters the body and creates imbalance. Within this framework, wind is not only an external element but also an internal condition that shapes health, emotion, and energy.

She will begin by attuning herself to the invisible yet tactile presences of wind as they interact with urban design, examining how architecture filters, amplifies, or obstructs airflow, and how these movements reconfigure the relationship between space and embodied perception.

Tzu Ni is a Taiwanese artist currently based in the Netherlands. She believes in the flexibility of human bodies and views the intersection of technology and humanity as a sweet spot, seeking the balance between institutional and non-institutional contexts. Her practice explores the entangled relationship between sound, gender, and space, often through multichannel sonic installations, field recordings, and text‑based narratives that emerge from subconscious memory. Working at the intersection of embodied listening and spatial poetics, she constructs environments where sound becomes a medium of intimacy, resistance, and relational knowledge.
