This is the reason I quitted my full-time teaching in University: I would like to focus on my artwork.


dimension+ is the group I setup with my best friend, Escher Tsai, based in both Hong Kong and Taipei.


We focus on interactive digital media, especially interested in the relationship between the dimension and human.


We have made something and processing on few projects now.


Oh yes, the website is coming soon!
