About
Chin-Hsiang Hu
胡縉祥
Chin-Hsiang Hu is a media artist and the founder of Peppercorns Interactive Media Art. With a background in interactive art, he specializes in using new media technologies — such as interactive systems, electronics, lighting, and networks — to explore the emotional and perceptual relationship between humans, technology, and space.
He is recognized for integrating concept, team, and technology into large-scale international projects, and for developing a unique creative language that combines spatial composition, sound, and cross-media visuals to construct narrative-driven digital experiences.
His work has received international recognition including the SIGGRAPH Asia Best XR Technology Award and Audience Choice Award (2019), two National Art Exhibition Gold Prizes in New Media (2016, 2021), Red Dot Design Award, Good Design Award, Golden Pin Design Award, the Lumen Prize shortlist, MUSE Design Awards, and the Arte Laguna Prize (Italy). In 2013, he was awarded an international residency at V2_ Institute for the Unstable Media (Netherlands).
Since founding Peppercorns Interactive Media Art in 2016, he has led an 8-member team in executing large-scale art festivals, public art commissions, and international exhibitions. In 2025, the team presented on Signal Festival's main stage in Prague (the first Taiwanese team) and at RADAR Festival in Bucharest (the first Asian media art collective), reaching new heights of international visibility.
His creative practice navigates the intersections of technology and emotion, data and body, virtual and space — committed to constructing immersive, narrative-rich, and humanistically warm tech-art experiences.
