Hu Chin-Hsiang

The continuous creation of art and an accumulation of life experiences have led Chin-Hsiang Hu to take on various identities: artist, engineer, interactive designer, lecturer, etc. Even so, he still desires to focus his work on the creation of new media art to examine the over-development of science and technology. Each kind of creative direction expressed a different idea and required the use of different technologies. In terms of integrating technologies, the development of interactive software played a very important role in his development. He chose openFrameworks to create visual and audio recognition technology, while Unity3D was used to form real time audio and visual effects, and to manage the interactive devices, augmented reality, and motion sensors. By combining different artistic forms, he built his creative skills and abilities. He continuously challenged himself to create works that form a dialogue between his personal experiences and new media art. He works form the assumption that though the performing arts, interactive art, and visual art are separate disciplines, their combination can give rise to a new form of technology-based performing arts. This also includes a self dialogue that results in a clash between the inner self and external factors.
