Sonic Shaman Festival
A contemporary art music festival conceived by TheCube Project Space, bringing together experimental musicians, sound artists, and thinkers from across Asia with sound as a cross-boundary ritual medium. In a state of collective trance, it probes the frontiers of sonic culture and questions sound's publicness and corporeality in the age of technology.

Soundtraces
An archive of Taiwan's modern sound culture, tracing its history from the 1910s to the present through a timeline that spans the music industry, underground music, sound art, and the evolution of performance spaces. The project takes "reverberation" and "noise" as epistemological models, examining the cultural characteristics and social transformations of successive eras — from Japanese colonial rule and martial law through post-martial law opening to globalisation.

Art and Society Research Project
Initiated in 2009, this research project focuses on critical and politically engaged artistic practices and curatorial thinking, working to reexamine the role and significance of art's intervention in contemporary society. The project builds a database of contemporary art, publishes artist essays and interviews, and through seminars and research inquires into what distinguishes socially engaged art-making from conventional exhibition formats.

"What is precious about an independent space, by contrast, is the continued possibility of letting things grow organically, in a human way. We have the flexibility to respond quickly, and more importantly, we can give expression to our own character, our own positions, and those commitments and sensibilities that may not yet be recognized or accepted by the majority. That is the irreplaceable value of an independent space: it is a site where ideas can take root and retain the warmth of lived experience."

"'The Rocking Dream' is not only a reinterpretation of the Si Tanggang story but also an indirect response to Southeast Asia's complex colonial history, forming a cross-cultural dialogue with Eiji Tsuburaya's tokusatsu tradition."
