About
Why this artist matters now
Tishan Hsu makes paintings, sculptures, and interactive media installations that investigate technology's effects on the human body, probing the emotional and cognitive entanglement between flesh and digital screen. His practice extends into historical trauma, examining how repressed experience registers physically. His work is held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Centre Pompidou.
