Yu Cheng-Ta(余政達) uses images as his primary form of creation, with his previous works employing different media as mean to explore the phenomenon of message distortion. In his 2008 Taipei Biennial work Ventriloquists, the artist invited foreigners to repeat Chinese phrases spoken by people hiding behind them. This strange combination of circumstances brought many unpredicted mishaps, symbolizing the issues of cultural communication and translation under this era of globalization, transmission and interaction. He participated in the Taipei Biennial in 2008 and was included in exhibitions in Linz, Austria, Vilnius, Lithuania, and the Venice Biennale in 2009.
