Jonathan KAN簡以誠
biography /
Jonathan Kan (b. 1997) is an animation filmmaker and visual artist whose practice drifts through the porous boundaries of experimental animation and new media. Shaped by lived experience and the ever-changing landscape of his city, Kan works primarily with time-based media and live new media performance, to explore the concept of ephemerality through a non-linear lens. Abstracting context into layers of feeling, he invites audiences to connect not through conventional narrative, but through presence—where image, sound, speech, and pacing unfold in real time. His work employs rhythm, layered repetition, and textured frames to evoke the fragmentation of memory and the nuanced, bodily experience of time.
簡以誠（1997 年生）是一位動畫電影創作者與視覺藝術家，其創作遊走於實驗動畫與新媒體之間的流動邊界。受到自身生活經驗與城市不斷變化的景觀所塑造，他主要以時間性媒介創作，並延伸至現場新媒體演出，以非線性的視角探討「短暫性／易逝性」（ephemerality）。他將具體脈絡抽象為情感層次，邀請觀眾不以傳統敘事連結，而是透過在場與感知進入作品——影像、聲音、語言與節奏在現場即時展開。他的作品運用節奏、層疊式重複與帶質地的畫面，捕捉記憶的碎裂，以及身體經驗中細緻的時間感。
