Satellite Projects

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.

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.

Talking Drums Radio
An online radio art archive founded in 2019, housing 75 series and 236 episodes spanning sound experiments, artist dialogues, radio drama, and literary readings. Talking Drums Radio uses broadcasting as a curatorial medium to build a sound archive of contemporary art that is at once experimental and open to the public.

"The exhibition is both a chronicler and a platform for negotiation, capable of holding and amplifying the community's need to express its emotions and circumstances, forming the underlying social bonds and affective structure of A Better Tomorrow — rather than merely a representational frame about them."
