Strong of its cultural origins, Chu-Yin CHEN belongs to a very original current that lies at the crossroad of artistic creation, biology and Artificial Life. Her movies and her interactive installations result from programs based on the theory of complexity and on software technologies enabling to study the process of the living. CHEN Chu-Yin’s approach of arts and sciences follows a very appealing way. She uses the vector of art to build an innovating conception that allies the traditional Chinese thought to the occidental philosophy.
