Recent Projects

laser dye

One of my main focus now is the laser dye project, which is an exploration of laser exposured alternative photography on nature fibres. I develop large cyanotype prints on fabric canvas.

e-textile, wearables

My other main focus is conductive material application in textiles, I explore the application of conductive fabric for making wearables, sensors, e-textiles

laser installation

I have been making laser installation with DIY laser machine and max/msp since 2011. Now I am trying to make a standalone laser projector by Axoloti.

Early stage projects
installation, sound devices.

Tribe Against Machine

Inspired by joining the e-Textile Summer Camp in Paillard, France, I started an annual 10-days international workshop program with some friends called Tribe Against Machine in Taiwan, brings art, technologies to meet the Taiwanese aboriginal textiles communities. Wa are now designing a nomadic residency program where artist, scientist and social engaged project can meet together.

Current Researches

Embroidered Circuits Wearables10 Tracks, 10 jackets, 1 album

The Mind of a Greenhouse

I am currently collaborating with a Tibetan community in Qinghai, China, to develop a greenhouse can resist low temperature in high altitude in order to provide year run vegetable for an orphanage.

My latest work The Mind of A Greenhouse introduce this trip with a small installation mimic the shape of the greenhouse. The installation is made with DSSC technique.

Machine learningThe Self-portrait Of Things is an experiment about how machine learning can participate with painters.

DSSC wearable I have been researching for this interesting photosensitive material since 2018, trying to apply conventional DSSC as sensors for motion classifier, light sensor for music device.

Teaching

Laser dye and max/msp workshop

I give workshops of laser cyanotype and DIY laser projectors, designing laser sonic motion in max/msp environment, basic knowlege for DSP process.
