Yu-Cheng Chou plays with design – including modification, shifting, transfer, and the differences of time or locations – in his works to reflect on the status quo, and he highlights the discrepancy between individuals and existing facts through manipulating products and procedures. With such techniques Chou creates a dialectical interplay between the source and the result of his creations. In his recent works, he has designed “paths of economic structure,” so that alternative benefits are generated for the businesses or organizations that participate in these projects. Chou’s works are embedded with a slight amount of criticism, yet they also establish a new relationship and status for the artist and object.
