Chia-Ying, Lee
ē-kha-tshiú-lâng


Graduated from the Advertising Department of Culture University, entered the industry in 2011, and left the creative field in 2022. Over about 10 years in advertising, repetitive tasks like "ASAP commands", "idea brainstorming battles", and "unbelievable briefs" have become routine. Unknowingly, I've embraced them fully, almost like a genetic alteration, even down to my core. Now in my thirties, I've realized it's wiser not to create things against my heart's desires.
Oh, and yes, I'm not an artist, just home with time to coexist !

Po-Ching, Chou
general partner



Proficient in the interdisciplinary fusion of mechanical dynamics and optoelectronic visual arts. Works are presented in the form of kinetic installations, integrating elements of light and electronics with mechanical power devices and computer programming languages. Often employing contemporary media that bridge traditional craftsmanship with modern experimental materials such as wood, metal, glass, casting, CNC, 3D modeling, and circuit design.
The creations explore spatial, natural, and humanistic perspectives, employing techniques such as spatial perception, environmental psychology, and visual illusion. Philosophical speculation is integrated to shape the artwork, focusing on observing life's details and transforming them through objective imagination to blend seamlessly into the spatial environment.

Yu-Ting, Chen
general partner



Known as "Dashixiong", has embraced Japanese cuisine. Trained by Hirohisa Koyama at Aoyagi, he now promotes his master's culinary philosophy in Taiwan. This follows the Shu-Ha-Ri concept: preserving tradition (Shu), innovating within it (Ha), and creating his own path (Ri).
According to "Si Wu Zi (思無字)", this process mirrors the idea that "meaning cannot be fully expressed by words, and words cannot fully capture meaning." Chen first masters and preserves traditional techniques, then innovates based on this foundation, and finally achieves self-expression, creating his unique culinary philosophy.

Hui-Chun, Chung

Tai Mei
A Taiwanese photographer and experimental artist. Her work, including the "Made in Taiwan" series, explores Taiwan's complex history and celebrates its vibrant cultural identity. Through her "La Tai Mei La Resistance" series, she challenges gender stereotypes, showcasing the multifaceted nature of Taiwanese women while reclaiming "Tai Mei."
Tai Mei's art captures the strength and resilience of the Taiwanese people, weaving powerful narratives that challenge perceptions and raise global awareness about Taiwan's unique place in the world and its evolving social dynamics.

Jian-De, Chung
general partner



Jian-De, known by the moniker "Almost Human," is a California-born artist who immigrated to Taiwan in 2019.
For most of his life, Jian-de felt that art was a walled garden due to considering himself "astoundingly bad at drawing," Jian-de's artistic journey began when he picked up his wife's old camera during her photography studies. This experience opened the door to his creative mind, leading him to excel in photography and eventually quit his career to pursue it full-time.
Jian-De sees both photography and AI as tools that lower the barriers to creative exploration while offering depth and complexity for those who choose to go further. He believes that "AI tools are cameras for your imagination," allowing anyone to capture and express the visions of the human mind.
As "Almost Human," Jian-de creates works that blend Californian influences, Taiwanese inspiration, and cutting-edge technology, challenging viewers to reconsider the boundaries between human creativity and artificial intelligence.

文化大學廣告系畢
2011年自業務入行,2022年從創意離場。短短十多年的廣告生活中,那些「ASAP的指令」、「Idea發想車輪戰」、「unbelievable 的BRIEF」等,差不多是以上所述,日日重複。不知不覺中,全身上下、從頭到腳,乃至DNA,都徹底地執行、甚至如基因改造一般地,實踐著「揮霍」與「張揚」。一回神,已面臨三十下半場。終於意識到,與其完成那些違背心意的創作,不如不做。
於是,遂成為GDAP 計劃的一枚螺絲釘,力求所作所為,均能由衷於心。
哦!對了,我不是藝術家,我只是閒來沒事都在家。
