I lived and travelled in Europe for five months. During this trip I began filming footage of the beautiful things I saw. At the end of my trip I stayed in New York for one year to study fine art at the Art Students League of New York . During this time I also took organized and took part in may art projects with other artists. I came back to Taiwan last year. I started making music videos and interview for Taiwan’s indie music bands
For example, Telephone Booth/Roxymoron/The Ok Cars/Macbeth…
My video《9125》was selected for the Taipei Film Festival 2011. Also my photo exhibition “Mask and Dolls” was selected for Taipei Geisai 2011
My aim with my music videos is to capture visually the art and spirit of Taiwan's independent music, to find and show the independent music of Taiwan (and its artists) with appropriate images and to create more and more visual art with the hope that increasing numbers of people in Taiwan will be exposed to this amazing and expressive medium.
