Ayue Wu is an interdisciplinary artist based in Porto.
Working across installation, moving image, sound, and print, her practice centers on everyday traces, spatial relationships, and the intersections between organic nature and algorithmic systems. In her sonic work, she weaves together traditional instruments, field recordings, and creative code into evolving auditory landscapes. Alongside sound, she uses photography, printed publications, and everyday objects to reflect on human agency within structured environments. Having founded and operated an independent underground music space for years, Wu grounds her work in a continuous engagement with public life and communal culture.
