In today’s digital age of information overload, news and breaking updates flood our daily lives. Sensationalism, emotional manipulation, and disinformation have permeated the media. When everyone is both a producer and a consumer of information, how can we stay clear-headed in the midst of this media storm? The works in this exhibition invite the audience to participate in an unprecedented experiment in media literacy, encouraging a reevaluation of one’s role within the ever-evolving flow of information.
The original title in Chinese, “Making Something Out of Nothing,” points directly to the nature of contemporary news production—how a single event, through selective interpretation, omission, and repackaging, can give rise to entirely different narratives. In the era of social media, information is seasoned, recomposed, and reprocessed much like a dish; the original facts often become blurred and distorted through layers of reconstruction, leaving behind only heightened emotions and fragmented truths.
The acronym “YAWUPO” stands for “You Are What U Post,” indicating that one’s digital identity is defined by the content they share: “You post, therefore you are.” Every post and comment subtly contributes to shaping a collective information environment. It directly addresses the core paradox of the contemporary media ecosystem: we are not only consumers and producers of information but also products influenced by it.
This exhibition originates from artist Yi-Jou Chuang’s participatory installation, first created for the 2019 Theater Osnabrück Spieltriebe Festival in Germany. This year, it has been fully reimagined for its Taiwan iteration. Transforming social media mechanisms into immersive theatrical scenarios, the artist places the audience at the center of the experience, where each participant becomes both observer and creator. The installation’s interactive interface enables audiences from different times and spaces to connect, fostering an organic and continually evolving cycle of engagement. It extends the artist’s exploration of participatory art and performative space, while responding directly to the paradoxes of the social media age: In a world of fragmented information, how do we decide what to believe? And how can we rebuild our perception of truth amidst manipulation and performance? Through experiencing a low-tech, non-digital media ecosystem, the audience is invited to reflect on their role and agency as media users in this experimental environment.

Chuang Yi-Jou was born in Taipei and is currently based in Hamburg, Germany. She holds an MA degree in Stage Design from the University of Fine Arts of Hamburg. Her artistic practice explores personal identity, postcolonial embodiment in Taiwan, and the role of art education. In addition to her solo work, she collaborates with international performing artists from various disciplines to design and curate performance spaces.
Her work spans the visual and performing arts, employing interdisciplinary approaches to embed critical issues across diverse media. In gallery settings, her spatial installations transform the conventional “white cube” into a dramatic “black box” experience, while her theatre projects evoke the aesthetic sensibilities of art museums, creating fluid, layered possibilities for viewing and interaction. In recent years, her practice has increasingly focused on audience participation, treating the viewer's body as a medium and exploring the shifting roles of spectators within performative spaces.
Jaye Lin is an independent curator with an MA degree in Comparative Literature and Art History from the University of Göttingen, Germany. Her curatorial practice focuses on the intersection of media art and interdisciplinary exhibition-making. She has worked at several major international art institutions across Europe, including the Berlin City Museum and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice. Her curatorial projects include FemRises: Everything is Possible Women Festival in Berlin, Exploring Dissenting Voices and Under the Iron Curtain Human Rights Film Festival at the National 228 Memorial Museum in Taipei, Waves of Freedom at the Stasi Records Archive in Germany, and Between Light and Shadow: Screenings of Post-war Literature-themed Movies in Germany at Taipei Poetry Festival. She was a recipient of the Berlin State Parliament’s Independent Curators Grant. Her recent work explores themes of counterculture, transnational identity, and contemporary human rights. She currently lives and works between Taipei and Berlin.
