Stage Designer
A COPY OF A COPY
Viktor Lin is a multimedia artist and spatial/stage designer whose practice investigates how digital media extends beyond the screen into embodied spatial experiences. Through the use of light, materials, and structural elements—combined with programming and real-time systems—his work activates interactions between vision, sound, and bodily perception.
In 2014, he founded A COPY OF A COPY. His early practice encompassed cross-disciplinary forms such as interactive installations, spatial lighting environments, and moving image works. Since 2012, Lin has also been documenting underground electronic music scenes and experimental party cultures through analog and digital photography. With over a hundred live events recorded, this long-term engagement has shaped his deep observation of sound culture and collective experience.
Since 2020, Lin has gradually rebalanced commissioned projects and independent artistic work, shifting his focus toward integrative practices across sound, multimedia, and space. His ongoing exploration centers on live perception and temporality, spanning exhibition-making, live performance, and sonic environments. He has contributed spatial and stage designs to numerous art projects and festivals, including the Taipei Digital Art Festival, Very Fun Park: Contemporary Art Festival, Lacking Sound Festival, On Site, and the Sonic Shaman Festival. Across these contexts, Lin continues to explore perceptual structures between image, sound, and audiences within non-conventional sites.
Co-Production
Hoser Huang For Hoser Huang, spatial design is akin to cultivating terrain along the contours of boundaries. His practice involves repeated material testing and tactile experimentation, approaching each project as a form of inquiry rather than a fixed solution. In 2017, he founded Vacuum Production, with works primarily situated across commercial spaces and exhibition design, translating creative concepts into concrete sensory experiences.
This non–site-specific approach may stem from his earlier initiative, Fringe Market, founded in 2009. Appearing across different corners of the city through various activity formats, the project functions like an ongoing form of acupuncture—continuously intervening in and activating urban space.
Beyond their long-standing project-based collaborations, the two also formed Social Dis Dance with Betty Apple in 2020, appearing at art festivals and party scenes in different contexts.
