Hsien-Yu Cheng (b. 1984, Kaohsiung, Taiwan; lives and works in Taipei) Graduated with a BFA from the Department of Theatrical Design & Technology, Taipei National University of the Arts, Cheng holds a MA from the Frank Mohr Institute at the Minerva Art Academy, Hanze University Groningen, the Netherlands. As an artist and a software developer, Cheng’s working process expands into electronic installations, software and experimental bio-electronic devices, with an aim to explore the relationships amongst human behavior, emotion, software and machinery. In a humorous manner, he attempts to endow his works with vital signs and existential or empirical significance, to metaphorically embody his own experience and observation of the environment. He was selected as Young Talent 2011 in the Netherlands and won the first prize of Taipei Digital Art Award in 2013, New Media Art of Kaohsiung Award in 2017, TungChung Grant in 2019,and 19th Taishin Arts Award - Visual Arts Award.
