XU Chia Chun

Xu Chia Chun (b. 1997, Taiwan; based in Granada, Spain) is an experimental musician, organizer, and independent label manager. Centering his practice on the no-input mixing board, he explores the boundaries of feedback, noise, and improvisation while fostering communities around experimental sound. He founded Karma Detonation Tapes, a label connecting Taiwanese and international underground artists, and initiated Outer Pulsation, a guerrilla noise performance series reclaiming public spaces. In recent years, his work has expanded into installation and multimedia collaboration, including Booom Room (X-site 2021), participation in the Taiwan Fine Arts Biennial (2022), and sound design for performance-based projects such as You Have No Time (2023) and Borboleta do Céu e da Terra (2025).

About the Performance: Shamanic Acts for 2026

A dancer sets out on a pilgrimage to the Goddess of the Sea, despite having no religious faith. She follows the crowd, moving to the beat of the drums, walking for hours, for days… She does not think; she only listens… She pauses when the heat becomes too much; when strangers offer her food, she accepts it. She is not pretending to be one of them, yet her body keeps reminding her that every movement she makes is just like theirs. When she finally stops walking, she is unsure whether she has reached a spiritual peak or has simply been moved to tears of joy.
