2009 Lived and traveled in Europe for three months.
2010 Traveled across the USA by Van for four months , 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.
2011 I came back to Taiwan last year , and 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.
