WHYIXD

About

Founded in 2011 by Yen Po Yeh, Zih Jing Wei, and Chieh Lin Chuang, WHYIXD is a Taiwanese new media art installation studio. Their 13-member team, with expertise in art, architecture, design, engineering, and mechanics, creates and experiments with physical installations. Since its inception, WHYIXD has explored diverse possibilities through technology, new media, and industry collaborations.

With a focus on "Future-Nature Synergy," they examine the environment-human relationship through detailed observations. Using various materials and technologies, their art conveys subtle emotions and inner poetry that words and images cannot capture in the digital era. WHYIXD's works pose questions that inspire deeper reflection and resonance with the world.

The studio has earned multiple international awards, such as the Italian A' Design Award Platinum, the German Red Dot Design Award, the Swiss LIT Lighting Design Award, and the UK darc award. In 2021, they were honoured among Taiwan's top 100 designs. Their large-scale installations are collected by local and international corporations, including their installation "#define moon_" permanently displayed at Beijing's 798 Art District.
