Cia Himian Li is a transmedia artist, and an educator.
She is interested in flowing energy under the surface of the visual world. She takes "sound" as crucial senses and practices medium in her creation, to explore the reflecting relations between consciousness, environment, memory(history) and life, particularly the instigating, interfering or restraining power among it, through hearing fluctuation and transmission of sound. Her works present the linkage and invisible energy that happened among flowing time between human and the environment; reveal various relations and connections of cause and effect. As is her regular approach, she juxtaposes different media, sounds, on-site installation, performance or painting to represent her works. To her, sounds express our awareness and conscious through vibrations, they represent the relationship between the subject making the sounds as well as their consequential statuses of existence. Her artworks have been presented in Taiwan, the United States, South Korea, Germany and China through different residency projects and exhibitions. She is also the founder of Incorrect Lab, currently lives and works in Tainan, Taiwan

Lí Him-iân Cia （李欣芫）
跨媒材的創作者、教育⼯作者。
關注視覺世界表層下的流動能量。以「聲音」作為主要感官與實踐媒材。透過聆聽聲響、波的變幻和傳送，探索意識、環境、記憶（歷史）與生命之間的映照關係，其中的牽制、引導、介入的力量。在作品中呈現人與環境在時間流動下所發生的連動以及不可視的能量，揭示不同互為因果的連結。作品常以聲音、現地裝置、⾏為、繪畫等元素互⽂並置。對她而言，聲音是意識與覺知的振動，也是訊息的語言，更是表述個體與群體關係的存在證明。作品曾透過不同駐地計畫與展覽發表於美國、韓國、德國與中國各處。 她亦為「不正確」實驗室主持⼈，居住工作於台灣台南。
