I am a filmmaker, visual technologist, and new media teacher who works with traditional, experimental, and emerging video technologies in new media, television, documentary, journalism, ethnography, live video performance, and photography.

My work aims to highlight cross-cultural aesthetics, how we contextualize ourselves within their influence, and how we can transfigure our understanding of them through expansive visual language. Specific research topics include correlating ancient Chinese and Japanese non-linear poetry frameworks to non-linear, interactive video platforms, reappropriating personal data collection to AI-driven interactive video, reimagining 3D capture for cultural preservation, and integrating analog and digital workflows in 2D and 3D spaces. This artwork, research, and industry work, spanning almost two decades, incorporates portraiture, abstraction, interactivity, sculpture, and immersive frameworks.

Showcased work includes the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA), in Montreal, Canada, the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Taipei, Taiwan, and a solo exhibition at the Taitung Living Arts Museum in Taitung, Taiwan. My camerawork and journalism have been featured in the award-winning Taiwan PTS documentary on Rohingya refugee women in Bangladesh entitled The Most Vulnerable. Further industry contributions include working as a creative director, and production designer on documentaries featured at the Discovery Channel, Sundance Film Festival, and SXSW. Publications include journal contributions to Springer, IEEE, and the Taiwan National Library. 

I am currently a part-time lecturer at Mingchuan University, as well as a video ethnography researcher for the National Chengchi University Asia-Pacific Spatio Temporal Institute (ApSTi) in Taipei, Taiwan having recently taught as an assistant professor of Experimental Film, Cinematography, and Television Production at Xi’an Jiaotong Liverpool University in Suzhou, China.
