Stringesthesia is an interactive performance that engages the audience as part of a musical improvisation with the sole guitar player on stage (Torin Hopkins). Using color and light, controlled by projection mapping and interactive instruments, audience members will be able to play music and influence Torin’s musical improvisation. Torin’s trust in the audience will be gauged using live brain-scanning technology, and his changing trust level will affect the ways in which the audience can participate during the performance, challenging the traditional performer-audience dynamic in live musical performance.

Delivery Art Inc. attempts to realise the future world imagined by three art creators LIN Wei-Chih, WENG Che-Chuan, WANG Shao-Gang and others. As the outbreak of the globally infectious disease of 2020 has led to human's fear of contact and connection, a growing estrangement has taken place not only between individuals but also between nations. The three artists have posed questions about the world regarding art creation, exhibition, and collection: What role does art play in the relationship between disease and doomsday? How will art change its traditional concepts and forms? How can art be further demanded by humans? Delivery Art Inc. has constructed a world view under a sci-fi setting which has disassembled art into the twofold aspects of human spiritual/material existence, allowing itself to take on the role of linking/transporting. Video street theatre and virtual interface platform display techniques are employed to improve construction in its content and scenes. Inviting art creators of all fields to participate, this participatory project of art delivery reestablishes the human emotion network, determined to develop artistic innovations and productions in the coming worldly crises.

愛之華/Flower of Ai
玫瑰花自古以來代表愛情。在希臘神話當中傳說，愛神阿芙蘿黛蒂為了奔向愛人受傷染紅了白玫瑰，從此玫瑰便是愛神的代表信物。近代的文學作品中，<<小王子>>中的玫瑰花代表忠誠與愛情。
本作品，將拍攝真實的玫瑰花影片，再使用Photogrammetry的技術將影片解析運算出點雲，點雲的資料中包含了位置以及顏色。將位置以及顏色的兩張圖，利用人工智慧技術對抗生成網路（GAN），依據實際的玫瑰花點雲位置以及顏色，生成出由電腦產生的玫瑰花，觀者可透過手部互動驅動模型產生出AI所創造的花。
愛情是身為人類最特別的情感，如果電腦程式生成了代表愛情的玫瑰，
是否也製造了愛情？如果愛情能被製造，人類是否也不再特別了？
Flower of Ai
Roses have represented love since ancient times. In Greek mythology, it is said that Aphrodite, the goddess of love, dyed a white rose in order to run to her lover and was injured. Since then, the rose has been the representative token of the goddess of love. In modern literary works, the rose in "The Little Prince" represents loyalty and love.
In my work, a real rose video will be taken, and then the video will be analyzed and calculated using the technology of Photogrammetry to generate a point cloud. The point cloud data contains the position and color. The two images of position and color are used in artificial intelligence technology to confront the generation network (GAN). According to the actual position and color of the rose point cloud, a computer-generated rose is generated. The viewer can drive the model through hand interaction Produce flowers created by AI.
Love is the most special emotion of human beings. If a computer program generates a rose representing love,
Does it also create love? If love can be made, will human beings no longer be special?
The R.O.C (Republic of China) wants to maintain good relations with the U.S.The history of the Raid on Taipei which was the U.S. forces bombed Taipei was covered by the government of Taiwan.
I participated in an experimental M.R. theater, "In the air raid," and served as a system developer in the team and as a technical consultant for A.R. content. This project was the first theater performance combined with Magic Leap in Taiwan.

We present Peace Maker, a firearm that can filter target and prevent harm from innocence. It ensures that users can kill innocents, but at the same time, maintains self-defense capabilities.
In recent years, gun violence has become increasingly dangerous. It is heartbreaking and angry due to the massacre of innocent made by guns. There is a big disagreement about gun control. People who support gun control believe that guns can catalyze violence and cause more casualties.
However, on the other side, it is considered a constitutional right, and people require self-arming and defense.
Combined with the YOLO algorithm, an object recognition algorithm based on machine learning. Train the AI to identify images of various offensive weapons (e.g., such as guns and knives). When the gun is aimed at the target, if the target does not have any attacking weapons, the safety will not open. Peace Maker will not fire. But when the target is armed with an attack weapon, the safety will open, and Peace Maker will fire the shot.
Image recognition and artificial intelligence systems have influenced our daily lives. People worry that their fate will be determined and screened by artificial intelligence. PeaceMaker is a firearm that identifies the target based on artificial intelligence image recognition, solves gun control problems through an algorithm-based filter system. This work explores and inspires people’s imagination about the involvement of artificial intelligence in life and the issues that can occur.
The technique used: openFrameworks, YOLO, Nvidia Nano Jetson.
The equalizer: An experimental prototype for the creation of artificial intelligence involved in human society, is a pistol that uses the YOLO algorithm to identify the target of the shooting. The target depends on which social issue was user selected. For example, when the user of the pistol chose "Racism," then the aim of the gun will be the object with Swastika. This prototype mainly to explore whether we can use artificial intelligence to screen to solve human problems.

, the work "Camera of Handsome" is an interactive installation, which is a camera-only take the picture for the handsome person. It uses the algorithm of feature comparison; it is judged who is the most attractive in front of the camera. The definition of "handsome" is made by a machine learning model that is trained by the pictures on the search engine with the keyword "Handsome." This work explores whether A.I. and big data begin to influence our aesthetic concept, and when our aesthetic theory is constrained, what kind of reflection will society and culture have, and how can humans maintain multiple perspectives in this situation.

The Inspiration was Magic Leap's ability to track three fingers which leave developers able to use hand signals as inputs. This ability offers a new way and less mechanical way to simulate interaction with computers/machines/characters. We decided to take that idea further and create a situation in which the user interacts with an alien as a way of using the technology to show how interaction with a man-made character can be achieved and reflects the human nature in our ability to interact with people who may not speak our language when you make an effort to connect.

“The Undelivered Letters” is an immersive journalistic documentary virtual reality project that pays tribute to victims of the Taiwanese White Terror. It aims to shed light on stories that have been buried in the archives for decades, and breathing new life into the realm of history and politics through VR.
In this project, we explore how emerging media technology can advance the field of journalistic documentary and history. We have chosen to focus the project on a dark political period in Taiwan from 1945 to 1987, post-WWII through the Cold War. We hope to build a new kind of interactive VR documentary to memorialize the era and help its stories and their impact lives on.

In the Chinese Lunar New Year of 2018, I participated in Intertrend's Year of the Dog Festival with Rumu Innovation. In this work, I used the YOLO algorithm to identify the person in front of the window, or the dog, based on the machine learning classification algorithm. Depends on the results of detection, the virtual digital dog shows different behavior to interact with the moving object in front of the window. Because of the above case, I began to think about a series of creative works.
"GoFunDog" applied AI technology to create a virtual "Fortune Dogs" program. Through a camera automatically detected the people passing by, Fortune Dogs would appear according to the number of people and perform lifelike actions like chasing, rolling or playing.
Every top of the hour, Fortune Dogs would bring a dazzling show to the crowd. Every moment of the "GoFunDog" was instantly generated by the program and never repeats itself, surprising people every time they see it.
