在今年二月與 Marc Dusseiller 於台北進行的前期研究後，本次為期五週的 KUBU 駐村計畫正式展開，作為「The Garden And The Hedge 夏季展覽與計畫」的一部分，由 Teresa Dillon 和 Tuomo Tammenpää 策劃與組織。
本藝術駐村研究旨在於染料敏化太陽能電池中開發兼具圖像和功能的W-type串聯電路設計，以同時滿足藝術與電子工程的需求。其挑戰在於如何製作具圖像特徵的二氧化鈦與鉑電極，同時保持良好的電氣特性與轉換效率。
此次所開發的概念驗證原型預計未來將基於 Voronoi 分形結構，產生更複雜的圖案。這些圖像不僅具有藝術價值，也具備工程應用的潛力。例如，此原型未來可能應用於進一步研究，如自供能的機器人眼睛、智慧隱形眼鏡或太陽眼鏡等，因為分形結構的串聯電路可與無需對焦的微透鏡陣列系統整合，進而實現 DSSC 在智慧視覺系統中的創新應用。
Few previous researches has been made before this residency in Taipei with Marc Dusseiller in February. This 5-weeks residency at KUBU, is part of the The Garden And The Hedge Summer Exhibition And Program, organized and curated by Teresa Dillon and Tuomo Tammenpää.
This artist in residency research aim to develop graphical W-type series connection in DSSC to satisfy both artistic and electric engineering purposes; the challenge is to have graphical TiO₂ and platinum electrodes without failing it's electric properties and efficiency.
This proof of concept prototype is expected to generate more complicated pattern base on the voronoi fractal foundation in the future. The graphics could be also engineering useful too, for example, this POC could be useful for further researches, such as self-powered robotic eyes, smart contact lens or sunglasses in the future due to the fractal series circuits could corporate with the micro lens array in the focus-free lens system to exploit DSSC in the manner of smart visions.
