Portrait of Jerome Wu

Jerome Wu is an interdisciplinary artist and creative technologist working across installation, game-engine film and real-time audiovisual systems. His work examines the social relation networks of public space — how gaze, moral expectation, interface logic and public messaging shape behaviour and produce shifting identities in everyday life.

With a background in business and data science, he builds interactive prototypes that make abstract social mechanisms physically perceptible, combining computational methods with embodied experience and field research. Having lived and worked in Taipei, Shanghai, New York, Cologne and Dallas, he brings a cross-cultural lens to public space and digital systems.
