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.

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online curatorial project launched in 2019, researching sound cultures across Asia through field recordings, video, and historical documents to reveal how sound travels across geographic, linguistic, and political boundaries.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.

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.
