施惟捷擁有多元且跨領域的創作興趣,其作品主要圍繞光的物理性質,媒材涵蓋電子織品、太陽能半導體及雷射聲光裝置,同時也以自研的雷射系統作為創作工具。目前,他就讀於陽明交通大學應用藝術所博士班跨域藝術組。
施惟捷曾發起「部落對抗機器」計劃,連結傳統織品工藝與國際電子織品社群,推動傳統工藝與科技交融。他亦積極參與並促成獨立藝術網絡的國際合作,建立非典型的跨界聯結。例如,2020-2021他曾為台灣工藝研究發展中心組織國際線上駐村「Having Friends in The Future」。以及他的調查計劃 Non-Governmental Matters 訪問並研究獨立跨學科藝術營及集會,探索此類國際與跨領域交流所帶來的正向影響。
他的作品「雷射染計劃」曾入選巴塞隆拿Reshape 2019首獎和香港deTour 2019。他的電子織品作品「I Am Very Happy I Hope You Are Too」曾入選台北數位藝術節和澳洲雪黎大學的「Hello World」展覽等國際展覽。他的作品「溫室之心」曾受Hackteria和Regenerative Energy Communities共同組織的「The Energy Giveaway at the Humuspunk Library」展覽展出(2023)。
Shih Wei-Chieh has diverse and interdisciplinary creative interests, with his works primarily focusing on the physical properties of light. His materials span electronic textiles, solar semiconductors, and laser-based audiovisual installations. He also utilizes a self-developed laser system as a creative tool. Currently, he is pursuing a Ph.D. in the Interdisciplinary Art Program at the Graduate Institute of Applied Arts, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University.
Shih initiated the "Tribal Against Machine" project, which bridges traditional textile craftsmanship with the international electronic textile community, fostering the integration of traditional arts and technology. He is also actively involved in and facilitates international collaborations within independent art networks, establishing unconventional interdisciplinary connections. For instance, he organized the international online residency "Having Friends in The Future" for the National Taiwan Craftsmenship Research and Development Institute in 2020/2021. Additionally, his research project, Non-Governmental Matters, explores and investigates independent interdisciplinary art camps and gatherings, examining the positive impacts of such international and cross-disciplinary exchanges.
Shih's work has garnered international recognition. His project "Laser Dye Project" was awarded the grand prize at Reshape 2019 in Barcelona and featured in deTour 2019 in Hong Kong. His electronic textile piece, "I Am Very Happy I Hope You Are Too," was exhibited at the Taipei Digital Art Festival and the "Hello World" exhibition at the University of Sydney. In 2023, his work "The Mind of A Greenhouse" was showcased at "The Energy Giveaway at the Humuspunk Library" in Zurich, an exhibition jointly organized by Hackteria and Regenerative Energy Communities.
