Profile

Practice at the intersection of engineering and live experience. Spatial audio, real-time machine learning, mixed reality — from hardware control and sensor fusion, through neural audio synthesis and multichannel rendering, to cross-engine AV pipelines. Research spans institutional sound-art, site-specific AR performance, electromechanical apparatus, and adversarial machine learning as performative medium. Commercial work includes government-commissioned activations and large-scale interactive exhibitions reaching 1,000+ visitors.

Research & Practice
LATENT BREACH
Live performance
In development
Submitted — ZKM Karlsruhe 2026/27
V2_Unstable Rotterdam
A 20-minute live performance in which every audience member's smartphone becomes a sensing instrument. An iOS / Android AR app runs real-time YOLO object detection while six UWB beacons track each device to centimeter-level precision. At minute ten, PGD adversarial perturbation collapses detection confidence; an AR entity materializes in shared airspace. Object labels are replaced by site-specific narrative text authored from archival research.

Electromechanical neural audio series · 3 versions
v1 · Taichung 2022
v2 · C-LAB Taipei 2023
v3 · NYCU 2024
A three-version series examining recursive feedback between real-time neural audio synthesis and physical resonance systems. v2 deployed a modified RAVE model across a 49.4-channel Ambisonics system — first deployment of real-time neural audio at this scale in Taiwan's institutional sound-art context. v3 introduced an electromechanical gate apparatus: brass plate driven by stepper motors, solenoids, and pneumatics forming a continuous feedback loop with RAVE synthesis; k-means redistributes output into a five-voice generative score.

Circle of Confusion — Reaction
VR installation
Digital Art Center, Taipei · 2024
A VR installation exploring the photographic notion of the "circle of confusion" — mediation, diffusion, blur, process. Music triggers cascading algorithmic transformations inside a non-representational VR environment. A custom 3D-printed sculpture translates virtual image into tactile sensation. The spatial audio uses a deliberately incomplete Ambisonics array — speaker absences become bidirectional thresholds. A CO₂ / O₂ gas system gives the installation a respiratory rhythm.

Site & time-specific iOS AR
NYCU Administrative Building
Hsinchu · 2024
A site-specific, time-specific iOS AR performance. Area Target spatial recognition activates the work from a first-person perspective. The work superimposes two absent spaces onto the physical corridor: the artist's private room and the desert pavilion of Taichung Botanical Garden. A moving white cube serves as navigation score, directing each viewer's physical movement through the corridor in sync with spatial electroacoustic composition.

13-Voice CV Synthesizer
Analog circuit design
1 master · 12 sub-boards
Self-fabricated
A fully self-designed, self-fabricated analog synthesizer. One master voice and twelve sub-voices, each independently CV-controlled through a shared voltage bus. PCB layouts designed from scratch and hand-etched. The architecture enables full polyphonic or multitimbral control from a single CV source.
