Jayden Liu (b. Taichung, Taiwan) is a Brooklyn-based artist whose practice focuses on how human behavior and consciousness operate within a vast world machine. He understands the rules of the world as having already been inscribed by history, politics, and culture, while individuals act within preconfigured structures, executing what is called freedom only within permitted limits, thereby allowing the world machine to continue functioning.
Liu frequently casts everyday objects into unfamiliar forms, tightening or loosening the direct relationship between an object and its original use, historical narrative, and emotional memory. The works invite viewers to encounter these objects outside of functional logic, revealing the complexity and multiplicity embedded within a single form.
With a background in theater, Liu has developed a sustained interest in how actions are choreographed and how roles are generated within systems. Integrating performance practices from contemporary art with theatrical structures, his work employs sound, scenography, and bodily presence to explore how behavior is reshaped, transformed, or temporarily rendered inoperative under the conditions of the world machine.
Jayden Liu is a Taiwanese artist whose practice engages with fractured identities, dispersed forms of power, and the glitches and errors within systems. Liu graduated from National Taiwan University, where he studied theater performance and design. After graduating, he worked as a theater actor in Taiwan, performing in the Experimental Theater at the National Theater. He is currently pursuing an MFA in Fine Arts at Parsons School of Design.
