Currently he lives and works in Tainan, Taiwan. He holds a MFA in Institute of Music from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, and he majored in multimedia composition.
CHEN has undertaken wide-ranging work, including site-specific installations, sound art, new media and performances. In his recent works, he has been focusing on the interactions between space, personal emotions and psychological experiences. He tries to blur the abstract boundaries of perceptions by switching between vision and hearing in space. Most of his artworks start with the conception of space to create a new intermediary space through the mapping of light and information visualisation, thereby revealing a dialectical relationship between real and sensory existence. Over the recent past, he has also begun to experiment with the interactive and improvised relations between humans and non-human elements through AI computing technology to explore the possibility of dialogue between humans and virtual species. He mainly leverages sound as a creative element in his artworks to further explore the sensory imagination of rationality, technology and spirituality.
He has been selected with the 2022 Giga-Hertz Production Award from the ZKM Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe, the Nanying Award for Video and New Media, the NEXT Art Tainan Award, and an honorable mention in the International Austronesian Art Award in 2016 (in collaboration with Biofication Studio).
