Chen I-Chun was born in 1980 in Nantou, Taiwan. She received her MFA in Digital Art and Technology from the Taipei National University of the Arts in 2010. She currently is studying for a PhD at the Department of Fine Arts of the Taipei National University of the Arts. Chen is best known for her artistic practice in video art, experimental animation/video, interactive art, multi-media art, and painting. Her primary focus is on social issues and folk stories in industrious and marginalized areas, also among the lower middle class. The idea of her artworks is to weave a giant map of the history of rural villages and industries, which carries individual's experiences between reality and illusion. It also attempts to create a conversation with the realistic/real society. The poetic image and the romantically lighthearted music express the impossible dream.
