In an exclusive interview featured in the ALIEN Art Centre of the documentary《Art in Act》, curator and artist Shao Yung-Tien (S.Y.T.) engages in an in-depth conversation. The curator shares insights into the artist’s unique visual language and delves deeply into his creative philosophy — including his material experimentation, daily life, tool inventions, and the creative energy sparked by his mental resilience in the face of adversity.
‘The aftertaste should be what you bring to this land through the 80 or 100 years of your life. It is about the impact you can bring to this land, on this Earth. Through various perspectives, and different platforms or ventures, I hope my life can see a broader world, and that reflects my belief in living freely and without restraint.’ — Shao Yung-Tien (S.Y.T.)
