It has additional financial support from Business Finland and Art Algorithm Capital, an Asia-based media and art investment fund. Huang was educated at Birmingham University and Goldsmith's College in the UK and has enjoyed international success working with video, painting, installation and performance. His first solo exhibition, 'An Experience Shaped by An Experience I Never Experienced', was reported to be a "deconstruction of the notion and mechanisms of history, the sublimation of violence and the expression of creative anxiety".

His short film developed themes of deception, theft and violation, both sacred and otherwise, and examined artistic practice and issues of historical credibility. In 2015 it earned Huang the Katrin Cartlidge Foundation Award at the Sarajevo Film Festival.
