Ban-Yuan Chang  張般源
About

Instagram

Born 1991 | Taipei, Taiwan

Ban-Yuan Chang’s practice examines how everyday perception is produced, mediated, and destabilized within the continuous flow of contemporary information and images. Chang focuses on how daily visual fragments—urban landscapes, social media feeds, circulated photographs, and intimate exchanges—shape our understanding of bodily form and lived experience.

Working across painting, sculptural installation, and text-based works, Chang reorganizes and compresses these visual and emotional elements to evoke the viscosity, delay, and weightlessness that emerge from excessive accumulation of information. Rather than responding directly to technology as a tool, Chang is interested in the subtle transformation of sensibility: how perception becomes fragmented yet remains faintly connected, how experience hovers between immediacy and abstraction.

Chang’s works create perceptual spaces where viewers encounter this suspended condition—an atmosphere in which the body appears both present and displaced, drifting within an environment saturated by images yet searching for new modes of attention.


張般源的創作主要關注人在當代資訊與影像洪流中,日常感知如何在此環境下被形塑與脫鉤。他試圖捕捉日常中的生活影像、景觀、社群平台與情感交流對身體形貌認知與生活感知的塑造,並透過跨媒材將這些元素進行重組與壓縮,呈現資訊過度堆疊下的黏稠、延遲與失重感。張般源的作品並非單純回應技術媒介,而是對人在當代生活中,那種趨近碎片卻又隱隱相連的感性經驗,其浮動與出神的狀態留下開放的感知空間。
