STUDIO F.A.C.E.

STUDIO F.A.C.E. is an interdisciplinary practice founded by composer Shiuan Chang and interior designer Yuanyuan Ma, creating participatory composed theater and interactive sound installations in which space and objects shape motion, motion becomes sound, and the sounds of many emerge as music.

STUDIO F.A.C.E. is the collaborative practice of composer Shiuan Chang and interior designer Yuanyuan Ma.

Shiuan investigates the relationship between states of motion and sound, while Yuanyuan explores the connections between people, objects, and space. Their collaboration emerges at the intersection of these two paths: the body in motion. Every individual participates simply by being present; the trajectories of individuals and collectives simultaneously generate sound, rendering the boundaries of movement visible.

The studio's name stems from the artists' shared gaze upon the body, consciousness, and the edges of the unknown: exploring at the fringes of the known, advancing toward the unfamiliar, and occasionally turning back to reflect. Though the steps may be unsteady, the resolve to move forward remains. STUDIO F.A.C.E. — Failing At the Cutting-Edge — embodies the curiosity and innocence of a toddler pushing a walker, stepping toward the future and the unknown with primal wonder.

Studio’s debut production, People Concerto, commissioned by the National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts (Weiwuying) and Technical co-developed by Quanta Research Institute, premiered in April at the Weiwuying International Music Festival with Neue Vocalsolisten Stuttgart, Ictus Ensemble, Sheng player Li-Chin Li, and performer/choreographer I-Lin Liu. People Concerto has been named a finalist for The Lumen Prize for Experiential Innovation ↗

STUDIO F.A.C.E. 是作曲家張玹與空間設計師馬圓媛的共同創作實踐。


張玹研究運動狀態與聲音的關係，馬圓媛則探索人、物件與空間之間的連結，並透過細節與物質性賦予其具體形態。他們的共同創作從兩條路徑的交會點湧現：移動中的身體。每個人因在場而參與；個體與群體移動的軌跡同時生成聲音，也讓運動本身的邊界變得可見。


這個工作室的名字，來自兩位藝術家對身體、意識與未知邊界的共同凝視：在已知的邊緣探索，面向未知前進，偶爾轉身回望；雖腳步還不穩，但決意前行。STUDIO F.A.C.E.——Failing At the Cutting-Edge——是仍在蹣跚學步、推著學步車前行的，對未知與未來的好奇與赤子之心。

由衛武營國家藝術文化中心委託創作，廣達研究院共同技術開發的工作室首作《眾人協奏曲》，於2026年4月在衛武營國際音樂節世界首演，由斯圖加特人聲獨唱樂團（Neue Vocalsolisten Stuttgart）、比利時強音古典樂團（Ictus Ensemble）、笙演奏家李俐錦、及表演者暨編舞家劉奕伶共同演出。《眾人協奏曲》已入圍流明獎「體驗創新獎」（The Lumen Prize for Experiential Innovation）決選 ↗
