Hsin-Chien Huang (Chinese :黃心健, born 13 January 1966) is an artist and director working in mixed media. Science, technology, new media, programming, and algorithms are tools he uses to bring the universe of his imagination to life. He served as artistic director for SEGA and Sony. Huang collaborated with pioneering American media artist Laurie Anderson on their VR work La Camera Insabbiata/Chalkroom [1] which won the Best VR experience Award [2] [3] at the 74th Venice International Film Festival [3] [4] (it was the first edition of the festival that introduced its virtual-reality section); he also designed her 1995 CD-ROM, Puppet Motel . His work Bodyless [5] [6] was also nominated [7] in the 76th of the festival. In 2011，Huang received the "Pride of Taiwan" honor from president of Taiwan Ma Ying-jeou. [8]

Contents

He founded Storynest Studio after 2001, which engaged in artistic creation and commercial design. Huang is currently a distinguished professor [9] at National Taiwan Normal University.

His VR film Samsara [10] won the 2021 SXSW Jury Award. [11] [12]

Early life

At the age of four, the cornea of Hsin-Chien Huang's right eye was damaged so badly he was practically blind in that eye, his vision only returning after receiving a donated cornea at age 14. He lacked depth perception in the interim, so seeing things "properly" has since felt like a luxury to him.

Huang's mother is the eminent oil painter, Lee Lan. [13] Raised in an artistic environment, Huang was given his first computer, an Apple II, when he was in senior high school. Since that time, programming language has become his second language.

After graduating from college in Taiwan with a degree in mechanical engineering, he went on to earn a bachelor's degree in product design from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, followed by a master's degree from the Institute of Design at Chicago's Illinois Institute of Technology.
