Aisthesis-Savage

Lai Jiun-Ting is a new media artist born and raised in Taipei. His practice focuses on the relationship between technology rights and individuals, and is currently working on the subject of “cognitive enhancement based on human-AI integration” through experimenting wearable and intricately integrated devices that enhance human cognition as an intermediary means to resist “implantable surveillance capitalism.” He utilizes electroreception of the human tongue as a means to create perceptual sculpture and experiments with the potentiality of human cognitive enhancement on the body part in an invasive yet non-implanted fashion. At the moment, he continues with his journey of exploring electro-tactility as a form of art in Taipei.
