Shih Wei-Chieh (Taipei, Taiwan) Hacker residency documentation- 11. September – 1. November 2023
The amusing title of this Hacker-in-Residence (hosted in Hackteria ZET – Open Science Lab and the Hackerspace collective Bitwäscherei ) comes from the substantial involvement of the Doctor blade in DIY coating experiments, marking the outset of Shih Wei Chieh’s first year of phd programe at Yang Ming Chiao Tung University in Taiwan. The primary objective of the residency was to identify substitutes for FTO glass in order to develop a transparent film substrate. Although the goal was not achieved during the 7-weeks residency, various parameters were meticulously documented, including low-temperature sintering for TiO2 photo-electrodes and high-temperature sintering for TiO2-electrodes on mineral fibers. These details can be found in the “Residency Research Documentations” section on the wiki.
Biography
施惟捷 Shih Wei Chieh (also known as Abao) works with wearable art, e-textile, and laser audiovisual. He is also a self-taught material science researcher. His “Laser Dye Project” innovates an optical textile printing method by programmable laser projector and New Cyanotype solution, which inspire him to explore the trans-disciplinary collaboration between new medias and traditional craft techniques. He’s the founder of “Tribe Against Machine”, a project exploring how culture preservation works with modern technologies. His current research develops a DIY dye sensitized solar glass made with natural dye in a large size format, which is used for both energy and as a smart interface for sonic art.
