Lin Kun-Ying (b.1980) was born in Hualien, Taiwan. He graduated from the Department of Applied Arts and Music at Fu Jen Catholic University in 2003 and obtained a Master's degree in Arts and Technology from Taipei National University of the Arts in 2007. With a strong interdisciplinary background, Lin was exposed to music from an early age and learned classical music, proficient in playing the flute and music theory. He also received training in philosophical thinking during his university years, developing an interest in art. During his graduate studies, he focused on the field of technological arts, and the interwoven experiences during his growth had a profound impact on his thinking logic and career development.In Lin's works, he utilizes simple and concise color schemes, neat visual structures, and philosophical concepts reflecting nature. These elements allow him to work seamlessly in collaboration with dance, theatre, and classical music, and perfectly integrate his strengths in new media art into collaborative works. Lin has won the Taipei Arts Award multiple times, served as the art director of Nuit Blanche Taipei, and is currently a member of the art team " LuxuryLogico."

Lin Shu-Kai (b.1983) was born in Tainan, Taiwan. He graduated from the Department of Fine Arts, Taipei National University of the Arts, from which he also earned a master's degree. He currently lives in Tainan.Graphic art and spatial installation are the staple forms of Lin's oeuvre. Tainan, the place in which Lin came of age, is an ancient capital bristling with temples, serpentine lanes, and religious totems. The artist internalized these visual elements and spatial experiences, dismantling and reassembling the constituents of his personal life and epiphanies, thereby excavating the symbols buried deep within his subconscious. These symbols in a claborate style gradually formed fantastic buildings that embody the cities and islands in his imagination, which resulted in his sui generis art series Balcony City Civilization. Apart from creating images with religious implications, the artist seeks to turn the wooden molds left in his father's factory into models of futuristic city, so as to reveal the myriad metamorphoses of cities and islands.He has been invited to international and domestic large-scale exhibitions at Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, Taipei Fine Arts Museum, National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, Asian Culture Center (South Korea) and Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art (Japan). He has also worked as an artist-in-residence and presented his works in Germany, the United States, the Netherlands, and Thailand.

Unlike other sociologists who use field research methods, he often approaches issues from different angles. NI Hsiang is skilled at building interpersonal relationships and integrating different elements into his works, guiding the audience to explore other paths through his actions and leading them back to reality, gaining different thoughts and answers from these divergent paths.

Huang Wanling (b. 1980) born and currently based in Taipei. She received her M.F.A and B.F.A in Printmaking from Taipei National University of the Arts. With her prominent knowledges and skills about traditional printmaking, she was invited by the National Palace Museum in 2013 to develop the Guide to the traditional woodblock print of the Qing Dynasty, showing in the permanent exhibition of “Rare Books and Secret Archives". In recent years, Huang has participated in various important exhibitions both in Taiwan and abroad, she also received the “Made in Taiwan - Young Artist Discovery” award at the Art Taipei fair in 2013, and her art works have been included in the collections of art institutions. In Huang’s continuing effort to break through the established framework of printmaking, she pioneers to combine ink wash painting with printmaking as her unique painting style. She uses the natures of ink wash and glue to be mutually isolated, separating the blocks painted with ink wash and characters, while other scenes within the painting seem to be engraved in a woodcut print. The use of black and white as primary tone with some colorful points in one painting frame shows up an imagination of both the printmaking and ink wash media and their possibilities.

Chang Li-Ren (b. 1983) was born in Taichung, Taiwan.

Chang's works mainly involve video installations, conceptual projects, and animation. He excels in using delicate handcraft and narrative techniques to construct a virtual world between imagination and reality. His works skillfully navigate the boundary between virtuality and reality, constructing a realistic world through these reproduced images and using humorous stories to allegorize political or human survival situations in reality.

Mia LIU (b. 1980) is a visual artist who lives and creates in Taipei. After receiving her B.F.A. from San Francisco Art institute in 2007, she enrolled in the M.F.A program, Hunter College of the City University of New York. Her works have been exhibited across major art museums and art spaces and collected by many throughout Europe, America, and Asia, including the Uli Sigg Collection (Switzerland) and the Emile Hermès Collection (Taiwan).She probes into art practices via an open, liberal status like drawing. Through the traverse and collision of various psychological and physical experiences in life with the things in contact in the moment, she catalyzes a series of creations in search for “dialogues,” producing poetic scenes where everything is connected. Hence, while it is as if she produces visual art in diverse forms, ranging from spatial installation to paper sculpture, drawing, photography, video installation, botanical sculpture, etc., Liu roams in the midst of and connects them as one.
