Yves Chun-Ta Chiu escaped from the ivory tower of philosophy in 2008 to enter into the field of contemporary art and has been deeply immersed in it ever since. He is very much inspired by the works of western philosophers, art theorists and masters, but prefers to listen to his own masters. He is interested in the methodologies of describing the real society by pseudo-sociology and the production of knowledge by pseudo-discursive. He is also concerned about how art practice is able to form relationships with society and life authentically.
