施惟捷是一位藝術家、自造者與獨立材料研究者。他的「1,540,000nm of DSSC」計劃是一項開源的染料敏化太陽能實驗，透過在小型實驗室中簡化光伏製程，將原本封閉的高科技黑盒轉化為可再製與可批判的材料實踐。目前他專注在研發具有獨特加密身份綁定的太陽能板，並探討將其運用於產生微型分散式綠色憑證的可能性，以及在這些能源平臺上人工智慧代理與個體授權之間的界限。他亦長期參與並組織國際獨立藝術網絡，包括 2017 – 2018 年於台灣發起「部落對抗機器」計畫，連結傳統織品與電子織品社群；2020 – 2021 年在臺灣國立工藝研究發展中心策劃國際線上駐村「Having Friends in the Future」，促進科技與傳統工藝的國際交流。他於2022開始的調查計畫「Non-Governmental Matters」研究獨立小型國際藝術團體的可持續性與其網絡文化影響。
Shih Wei-Chieh is an artist, maker, and independent material researcher. His project "1,540,000nm of DSSC" is an open-source dye-sensitized solar cell experiment that simplifies photovoltaic fabrication within small-scale laboratories, transforming an otherwise closed, high-tech black box into a reproducible and critical material practice. Currently, he focuses on developing solar panels with unique encrypted identity bindings. He explores their potential for generating micro-distributed green certificates, alongside investigating the boundaries between AI agents and individual empowerment on these energy platforms. He has also long been involved in organizing international independent art networks. This includes initiating the project "Tribes Against Machines" in Taiwan (2017–2018), which bridged traditional textiles with electronic textile (E-textiles) communities, and curating the international online residency "Having Friends in the Future" at the National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Institute (2020–2021) to foster global exchanges between technology and traditional crafts. His research project "Non-Governmental Matters," launched in 2022, investigates the sustainability and network cultural impacts of independent, small-scale international art collectives.
