biography /

Betty Apple comes from a millennium generation of avant-garde artists in Taiwan.
She received her B.A. in Theater and M.A. in New Media Art at the Taipei National University of the Arts.

Betty Apple’s art (and music) focuses on using body politics and performativity as her framework and drawing on her lived experience as a millennial living in post-colonial Taiwan, her work appropriates symbolic objects from kitsch culture and consumer society as sound elements; mass-produced objects intended for eroticism or entertainment, such as vibrators, underwear or part of sexbot’s body are carried inside the body through violent and grotesque means.

Her aim is to study the chaotic and hysterical “noise text” that is created from input to output, distorted by dynamics introduced by humans as well as objects. The main idea is to symbolize what is repressed by the seemingly perfect/accurate sound of science and patriarchy.

擁有十年的扎實劇場與電影的身體訓練與編導實戰,專精「即興」與「真實」的「表演」,近年提倡現場藝術 (LiveArt),以身體與物件即興作曲的「陰性聲音」:表徵「完美精準」的科技父權聲音的壓抑面。透過「身體政治」與「操演性」為架構,從自身生長的「後殖民」的網路世代取材,將媚俗文化,消費社會的象徵性物件挪用為發聲元素,如以身體夾帶著當代工業化的生產的情色娱樂物件如跳蛋,內衣褲,螢光顏料,從暴力詭奇的方式創造聲音語言。研究在輸入聲響到輸出的過程而循環,加入了「人物」與「物件」的動態所產生的混屯與歇斯底里的「噪音文本」。
