Cheng Daoyuan is a Taipei-based multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans experimental sound, video, and installation. He has long worked with sound at the core of his practice, extending it into mixed-media and spatial forms. His work explores ambiguous imagery shaped by the coexistence of opposites—between inner consciousness and external contours, appearance and disappearance, the concrete and the unnameable.
Active in Taiwan's experimental sound scene since 2015, Cheng has developed a sonic aesthetic grounded in murky, heavy post-industrial textures. He combines high-pressure noise, abstract electronic textures, and intricately shifting layers to construct sonic landscapes that oscillate between violence and stillness. His work has been released and presented across numerous international labels and platforms through albums, compilation appearances, remixes, co-productions, and live performances. His debut album, 旣 Apeiron, was reissued as a double CD in 2024 by the French label WV Sorcerer Productions.
He has gradually extended his sonic aesthetic into multichannel sound, mixed-media installation, video, and physical theatre. His solo and collaborative works have been presented at festivals and exhibitions in Taiwan and internationally, including the Taiwan Art Biennial, the MUTEK online event Nexus Experience, the Melbourne International Film Festival, SAT Festival in Canada, and A Bunch of Noise Festival in China. One of his collaborative works was also named a finalist for the Taishin Arts Award. Through the transformations and refractions that occur among sound, image, objects, and the body, Cheng continues to explore boundaries, perceptual shifts, and states of ambiguity.
鄭道元是來自台北的多領域藝術創作者，創作涵蓋實驗聲響、影像與裝置等形式。他長期以聲音作為核心，並將其延伸至複合媒材與空間性的實踐之中，探尋內在意識與外在輪廓、顯現與隱沒、具象與不可名狀之間對立共存的含混意象。
自 2015 年起，鄭道元活躍於台灣實驗聲響場景。他的聲音美學以混濁厚重的後工業質地為基底，揉合高壓噪音、抽象電子紋理與細緻變幻的聲響層次，構築出在暴力與沉靜之間擺盪的聲響景觀。其作品以專輯、合輯、混音、共製及現場演出等形式發表於多個國際廠牌與平台，首張專輯《旣 Apeiron》亦於 2024 年由法國廠牌巫唱片以雙 CD 形式再版發行。
他逐步將聲響美學延伸至多聲道音場、複合媒材裝置、影像與肢體劇場等領域。其作品與共創作品曾於臺灣美術雙年展、MUTEK 線上活動 Nexus Experience、墨爾本國際影展、加拿大 SAT Festival 及中國 A Bunch Of Noise Festival 等國內外藝術節與展覽中呈現，並曾以共創作品入圍台新藝術獎。透過聲響、影像、物件與身體之間的轉換與折射，鄭道元持續展開對邊界、感知轉換與含混狀態的探索。

Cheng Daoyuan is a Taipei-based multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans experimental sound, video, and installation. He has long worked with sound at the core of his practice, extending it into mixed-media and spatial practices. His work examines the overlap between inner consciousness and external contours, seeking ambiguous imagery shaped by the coexistence of opposites—between appearance and disappearance, the concrete and the unnameable.
Active in Taiwan's experimental sound scene since 2015, Cheng has developed a sonic aesthetic grounded in murky, heavy post-industrial textures. He combines high-pressure noise energy, abstract electronic textures, and intricately shifting layers to construct soundscapes that oscillate between violence and stillness. His works often unfold between abrasive and subtle sonic states, condensing contradictions and tensions that resist clear definition amid pressure, stasis, and drift.
Cheng's sound works have appeared across international labels and platforms in the form of albums, compilation appearances, remixes, and co-productions. In 2019, he released his debut album, 旣 Apeiron, which was reissued as a double CD in 2024 by the French label WV Sorcerer Productions. As his sound practice has continued to evolve, he has expanded into multichannel sound, mixed-media installation, video, and physical theatre. For Cheng, sound is not only an auditory form but also a medium that carries states of consciousness, perceptual experience, and reflections on existence. Different media, in turn, allow him to expand the structures and perceptual layers of his work.
During his residency in C-LAB's CREATORS Sound Off program, he presented DOOME: Null Gods, a 49.4-channel mixed-media work. He subsequently developed its follow-up, DOOMAIN, with support from a grant from the National Culture and Arts Foundation. His solo and collaborative works have been presented at festivals and exhibitions in Taiwan and internationally, including the Taiwan Art Biennial, TheCube Forum Music Festival, the MUTEK online event Nexus Experience, and A Bunch of Noise Festival in China. His collaborative immersive fulldome audiovisual work INNERSTAR 01: Reddening was selected for the Melbourne International Film Festival and SAT Fest in Canada, while his collaborative interdisciplinary performance Re-Fracture was named a finalist for the 22nd Taishin Arts Award.
Through sound, video, installation, and other media, Cheng continues to construct an artistic framework centred on the coexistence of opposites, boundaries, and perceptual transformation. His practice does not simply juxtapose different forms; rather, through transformations and refractions across media, he sustains an exploration of ambiguous states among sound, image, objects, and the body.
鄭道元是來自台北的多領域藝術創作者，創作涵蓋實驗聲響、影像與裝置等形式。他長期以聲音為核心，並以此發展複合媒材與空間性的創作實踐，關注內在意識與外在輪廓之間的交疊關係，試圖於顯現與隱沒、具象與不可名狀之間探尋對立共存的含混意象。
自 2015 年起，鄭道元活躍於台灣實驗聲響場景。他的聲音美學以混濁厚重的後工業質地為基底，揉合高壓的噪音能量、抽象的電子紋理與細緻變幻的聲響層次，構築出在暴力與沉靜之間擺盪的音景。其作品常在粗礪與幽微之間展開，於壓迫、凝滯與游移之中凝聚出難以被清楚界定的矛盾與張力。
鄭道元的聲音作品以專輯、合輯、混音與共製等形式發表於多個國際廠牌與平台。2019 年，他發行首張專輯《旣 Apeiron》；該作於 2024 年由法國廠牌巫唱片以雙 CD 形式再版。隨著聲音創作的持續發展，他亦將其創作延伸至多聲道音場、複合媒材裝置、影像與肢體劇場。對他而言，聲音不僅是聽覺形式，也是承載意識狀態、感知經驗與存在反思的媒介；不同媒材則成為他拓展作品結構與感知層次的方式。
他於 C-LAB CREATORS 聲鬥陣計畫進駐期間發表 49.4 聲道複合媒材作品《DOOME: Null Gods》，並沿此脈絡發展續作《DOOMAIN》，該計畫獲國藝會補助。其個人與共創作品曾於多項國內外藝術節與展覽中呈現，包括臺灣美術雙年展、立方論壇音樂祭、MUTEK線上活動 Nexus Experience 及中國 A Bunch of Noise Festival 等；其共創沉浸式穹頂影音作品《INNERSTAR 01: Reddening》入選墨爾本國際影展與加拿大 SAT Festival，共創跨域演出作品《逆斷口》則入圍第 22 屆台新藝術獎。
鄭道元的創作並非將不同形式並置，而是透過媒介之間的轉換與折射，使聲音、影像、物件與身體彼此作用，並由此持續探索邊界、感知轉換與含混狀態。
