Che-Yu Wu 吳哲宇

New Media Artist / Founder of Monoame Design

Che-Yu Wu is a New media artist, designer, engineer, speaker, and entrepreneur who enjoys quirky and unique things. By combining the rationality of his electrical engineering background in National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University with the sentimentality of visual design, he draws inspirations from nature, physics, modern art, mathematical rhythm, and music to create compounding algorithmic works, explore the border between art and engineering, and establish unparalleled interactive experiences.

Che-Yu is the founder of Monoame Design 8 years ago and worked with clients like Department of Rapid Transit Systems, Nissan, National Palace Museum and Industrial Technology Research Institute, Taipei Computer Association, Taipei City Government , National Center for High‑Performance Computing, RemyMartin & Selinko … to provide dynamic experience applications and solutions.

In recent years after graduating from New York University, Integrated Digital Media MS, he devoted himself to advocating for and introducing over ten thousands students to creative coding and new media art through his Hahow online courses on animated website development and creative coding for interactive experience design.
