1,540,000nm of DSSC-Appropriate Off-Grid
2025
目前，半導體業界最精密的製程為2奈米，而「1,540,000奈米」這個有趣的名字反映了DIY精神所象徵的概念。本次展覽是一個受到「離網」概念啟發的場域特定性（site-specific）計畫，融合了藝術家製造以植物染料製造的染料敏化太陽能電池的經驗與全新創作。
「離網」的概念不僅僅指獨立於電力網之外的可再生能源，更在抽象意義上包含了去中心化的思維，例如區塊鏈與DIY活動等。染料敏化太陽能（dye sensitized solar cell, DSSC）是一種容易製造且低成本的第三代太陽能技術，其生產電力的機制仰賴染色工藝的參與，可以透過天然染料和化學染料進行染製。
本展覽展示了DIY製作DSSC的研究過程也探索能源追蹤與交易的可能性，以「能源 = 即資訊」以及「能源與植物共生」等概念進行快速原型設計。基於DIY製造行動作為藝術表現，作者製造了一系列以DSSC技術和玻璃製造的小書和攝影集，其中一本記錄了DSSC的製作過程與方法。
這些書籍的文字是利用雷射光進行印刷的藍曬（Cyanotype）技術，直接印製於DSSC的半導體層上。因此，這些玻璃書籍既是藝術品，同時也具有實用的太陽能電池功能，展現了工藝技術與實用發電技術的交融。
目前這個計劃仍在進行中，藝術家希望與觀眾分享當前的計劃進度，一起進行關於能源藝術的討論和發想，以及分享DIY製造太陽能板的技術細節和研發原型時遇到的發現與困難！
1,540,000nm of DSSC-Appropriate Off-Grid
2025
The most advanced semiconductor manufacturing process today is at 2 nanometers, but the title "1,540,000 nanometers" symbolizes the DIY spirit. This exhibition is a site-specific project inspired by the concept of being "off-grid," integrating the artist’s experience in making dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) with plant-based dyes and their new creative work.
"Off-grid" extends beyond renewable energy independence—it represents decentralization, including blockchain and DIY initiatives. DSSC, a third-generation solar technology, is low-cost and easy to manufacture, generating electricity through natural and synthetic dye absorption.
This exhibition showcases DIY DSSC fabrication research while exploring energy tracking and exchange. The project incorporates rapid prototyping under the themes of "energy = information" and "energy-plants symbiosis" As part of this artistic inquiry, the artist has produced a series of books and photobooks using DSSC technology and glass-making techniques, with one documenting the DSSC production process.
The texts in these books are printed with cyanotype techniques using laser light directly onto the DSSC semiconductor layer. As a result, these glass books are both artworks and functional solar cells, blending craftsmanship with energy technology.
This ongoing project invites the audience to engage in discussions about energy art, DIY solar panels, and the challenges of prototyping and development.
