Hsin-Chien Huang (traditional Chinese: 黃心健 born 13 January 1966 in Taipei) is an artist, director in mixed media area. 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 and 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); his work Bodyless[5][6] was also nominated[7] in the 76th of the festival. In 2011，Huang received by president of Taiwan Ma Ying-jeou and granted as one of the "Pride of Taiwan" honor.[8]

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.

Currently, his Samsara[10] has selected to win the Jury Award[11][12] in 2021 Texas SXSW Festival.

Earlylife[]

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 programing 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, following that up with a master's degree from the Institute of Design at Chicago’s Illinois Institute of Technology.
