Now it’s an age of sensation: Conversation with Artist Chunghan Yao I think art-making is a product of something that is quite spiritual, for example before I would always have some inspiration and thoughts after going to movies or reading books, and now I seem to have changed from the role of a receiver to that of a giver. Giving others spiritual or visual stimulations in the hope that they would do some thinking after going to exhibitions or performances....
independent magazine series | The Plant Journal by YC Chen The Plant Journal: We want people to enjoy reading it and not just open it, look at the photos and leave it on a shelve. It is definitely a lifestyle magazine. I see the same group of people that buy our magazine are also people who are interested in culture and are curious about what new stuff is going on, while never forgetting about old style habits and lifestyle.
independent magazine series | Correspondencia by YC Chen Correspondencia是一本充滿私人化生活態度的雜誌，來自於創辦者Juan Ignacio Moralejo。這本雜誌來自於阿根廷，只能在為數不多的各國獨立書店裡找到它的蹤跡，它並不特別強調個人主義，沒有人物專訪、也不將重點放在創作者的個人功勳之上。首期雜誌收錄了藝術家Wolfgang Tillmans和Mark Borthwick的影像。Moralejo曾在雜誌創刊號發行之初，表示自己非常仰慕Tillmans，直言這些藝術家在九〇年代改變了他理解雜誌和攝影的方式。

independent magazine series | Kilimanjaro by YC Chen Image has always been of the utmost importance to me. I think, often, in art, that people are afraid to admit to an interest in beauty – beauty has always been an important part of Kilimanjaro, and I like to allow the images to speak for themselves. The approach with using a newsprint-style format for the text is sort of the same, but inverted...
Conversation with Kaj Lehmann Q: In your opinion, are you able to change the world? How? A: To answer this question you'd have to define what you mean with "world". I think you can't change the world at large, the human species is heading for a certain point, this process would be slow-/stopable, but only with mass destruction...
