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.

Sound Meridians
An online curatorial project launched in 2019, researching sound cultures across Asia through field recordings, video, and historical documents to reveal how sound travels across geographic, linguistic, and political boundaries. Beginning with Taiwan, the Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia, the project continues to expand to other countries across Asia.

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.
