YiChen Sun was born in Taipei, Taiwan, 1990. She attained her bachelor degree from Department of Life Science, National Taiwan University, and later her master degree from Graduate Institute of Trans-Disciplinary Arts, National Taipei University of Arts, majoring in cultural production and curating. She once resolved to be a scientist exploring lives, but then chose to divert to contemporary art curating owing the confinement of the arbitrary borders among existing disciplines, such as life science, philosophy, sociology and so on. Curatorial practice thus becomes her unique approach to knowledge production. In recent years, Sun also devotes herself to co-organizing community, archipiélago (TW-bioart) together on which people get to craft and communicate incessantly.
