A native of Taiwan, Yu-Chuan Tseng received her undergraduate degree at the National Taiwan Normal University before going to the U.S. to pursue a Master's degree in Studio Art at the New York University. Classically trained in painting, she first learned how to use the computer in 1993 during her stay in New York, "when 'www' was just a catchword on an AOL ad."* Upon her return to Taiwan the following year, she decided to learn more about computers and new media. Her subsequent first exposure to and experience with net art in 1998 inspired her to start working on interactive net art.

Currently Tseng is a Ph.D. candidate at the Institute of Applied Arts at Taiwan's National Chiao Tung University, and in May 2005, her solo show Immersing ME (Multiple Electroplate) will be held at the SLY Art Space in Taipei.
