施惟捷是一位藝術家、自造者與獨立材料研究者，關注半導體技術、人工智慧與人類感知之間的交互關係。他發起的「1,540,000奈米計畫」是一項開源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。
他當前的練習是在染料敏化太陽能的半導體層上利用氰版顯影和網板製造圖案化，使光伏裝置成為物理不可複製性（PUF）裝置，用於冷錢包和AI防偽系統等應用，並將用做討論何謂真實與心智哲學的概念雕塑。
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年策劃國際線上駐村「Having Friends in the Future」，促進跨國自主工藝者之交流。其調查計畫 Non-Governmental Matters 研究跨學科藝術營與自組織網絡的文化影響。

Shih Wei-Chieh is an artist, maker, and independent materials researcher whose practice explores the intersections of semiconductor technologies, artificial intelligence, and human perception. He initiated the “1,540,000 Nanometers Project,” an open-source dye-sensitized solar cell experiment that simplifies photovoltaic fabrication within a small laboratory setting, transforming what was once a closed technological black box into a reproducible and critically engaged material practice.
His current work involves patterning the semiconductor layer of dye-sensitized solar cells through cyanotype exposure and screen printing, turning photovoltaic devices into Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) systems. These devices are developed for applications such as cold wallets and AI anti-counterfeiting systems, while simultaneously functioning as conceptual sculptures that question the nature of reality and the philosophy of mind.
He has also long been active in organizing and participating in international independent art networks. Between 2017 and 2018, he initiated the “Tribe Against Machine” project in Taiwan, connecting traditional textile communities with electronic textile practitioners. From 2020 to 2021, he curated the international online residency “Having Friends in the Future,” fostering exchange among autonomous craft practitioners across borders. His research project Non-Governmental Matters investigates the cultural impact of interdisciplinary art camps and self-organized networks.
