Hsin Yen WANG is a Taiwanese 3D animation and visual artist based in Paris and Bordeaux, France. She studied fine art at the Taipei National University of the Arts and is currently pursuing her master’s degree at l’École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux.

While grounded in traditional fine art training, she has continuously expanded her artistic language to include immersive digital tools. She integrates 3D animation and virtual reality with multidisciplinary approaches such as food installation and video games, which build her perspectives on identity and history. The essence of her work lies precisely in the political interconnectedness between humans and food, as well as the absurdity of artificial technology.

Having lived between Taiwan and France, she pays close attention to the subtle yet powerful ways food shapes one’s sense of belonging, and how digital space might offer a speculative system to re-negotiate these remnants.

During her residency at GlogauAIR, she developed her current VR project, “Who eats the rice on the table?” inspired by the traditional Ghost Festival (中元普渡) in Taiwan. During the festival, people place various foods on offering tables to nourish ghosts who have lost their identity and roots. Fascinated by how food constructs a transdimensional relationship between the spiritual realm and reality, she invites viewer to reflect on food memory, displacement, and the embodied politics of ritual.
