YILAB 一當代舞團
YILAB一當代舞團由蘇文琪於2005年創立,以獨特的跨媒介視角重新描繪當代表演藝術的可能性。團隊秉持「作品中不存在單一中心媒介,而是由看似相近卻能相互碰撞的概念構成」的創作理念。在這個創意生態中,每位藝術家都保持其獨立個體性,自由表達觀點,共同探索作品核心命題的深層意義。
YILAB的創作特色在於巧妙融合舞蹈、視覺藝術與新媒體技術,以流動的形式探索數位時代中身體與科技的多重關係。團隊致力於發展新的表達語彙與美學路徑,同時為觀眾提供獨特視角,思考科技與人文之間的動態平衡。
團隊受邀於國內外具有指標性的新媒體與表演藝術節,包括台灣牯嶺街國際劇場藝術節、台灣國際藝術節TIFA、台北數位藝術節、CLAB_台灣聲響實驗室、南韓光州亞洲藝術劇院、法國巴黎IRCAM Forum、SCOPITONE、Chroniques數位想像雙年展、法國安錫國際動畫影展、比利時布魯塞爾藝術節、德國波茨坦舞蹈日、希臘卡拉馬塔國際舞蹈節、瑞士日內瓦Sparks CERN、La Bâtie日內瓦藝術節、澳洲Asia TOPA亞太表演藝術三年展、墨爾本科學畫廊等。
SU Wen-Chi, Taiwan
Su Wen-Chi is a choreographer and new media artist who founded YILAB in 2005, dedicated to the innovative fusion of technology and performing arts. Since her 2016 residency at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Switzerland, she has embarked on a creative journey of dialogue between art and science, using "body" and "matter" as the conceptual foundations for her work, exploring how cosmic phenomena such as waves, infinity, and gravity can be transformed into artistic experiences through the body and technology.
Her representative work W.A.V.E. won the Alternative Design Gold Award at the 2017 World Stage Design Exhibition, whilst Black Hole Museum + Body Browser was selected for the VR section of the 2023 Annecy International Animation Festival in France. She has received the Jury's Special Award at the 9th Taishin Arts Award and collaborated with Swiss brand LA PRAIRIE for an exhibition at Art Basel Miami Beach in 2021.
Su Wen-Chi continues to employ the body and technology as media, exploring the possibilities of human perception in the technological age, whilst closely integrating contemporary performing arts practice with interdisciplinary thinking.
YILAB
YILAB was founded by SU Wen-Chi in 2005, reimagining the possibilities of contemporary performing arts through a unique cross-media perspective. The company embraces a creative philosophy that "no single central medium exists within a work; rather, it is composed of concepts that appear similar yet collide with one another." Within this creative ecosystem, each artist maintains their individual identity, freely expressing their perspectives whilst collectively exploring the deeper meaning behind each project's core themes.
YILAB's distinctive creative approach lies in its skilful integration of dance, visual art, and new media technology, exploring the multiple relationships between body and technology in the digital age through fluid forms of expression. The team is dedicated to developing new artistic vocabularies and aesthetic pathways, whilst providing audiences with a unique perspective to contemplate the dynamic balance between technology and humanity.
The company has been invited to perform at major international new media and performing arts festivals, including Gu-Ling Street International Theatre Festival, TIFA (Taiwan International Festival of Arts), Taipei Digital Arts Festival, CLAB (Taiwan Sound Lab), Asian Arts Theatre (South Korea), IRCAM Forum, SCOPITONE, Chroniques: Biennale of Digital Imagination, Annecy International Animation Festival (France), Kunstenfestivaldesarts (Belgium), Potsdamer Tanztage (Germany), Kalamata Dance Festival (Greece), Sparks CERN, La Bâtie Festival Geneva (Switzerland), Asia TOPA, and Science Gallery Melbourne (Australia), among others.
