Suzie Chen (CHEN Si-Pin 陳思頻) is a Taiwanese artist, curator and exhibition designer with a background in MA Situated Practice from The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, whose multidisciplinary practice explores site intervention, participatory design, and the blurred boundaries between virtual and physical realms of exhibition experiences.
In recent years, Suzie has developed a distinctive perspective on critical spatial practices and site-specific interventions. Drawing from her academic background in advertising and communication before Bartlett, she observes the influence of contemporary online media and consumerism on public perception in her recent project, Real AIstate along with graphics, video with installations and live performance. By employing AI tools as both creative and research methods, she adopts an experimental and innovative approach to investigate how designers, developers, and the general public shape the collective desire for the industry of house decoration under capitalism. Her work also critically examines the interaction between human artistic creativity and AI while applying her extensive experience in physical exhibition design to spark reflections on the relationships between contemporary society, capitalism, and space.
She has exhibited internationally, with works featured in The Bartlett Fifteen Show 2024. Alongside her artistic practice, she has contributed to curatorial and exhibition projects for institutions such as the New Taipei City Art Museum and the Taipei Fine Art Museum in Taiwan. In those projects, she delves into the subjectivity of online exhibitions and the performative nature of digital space, further expanding her discourse on spatial practice and mediated environments.
