ARTouch | Artco Media
An arts-media site maintained since 2019: data migration, monthly maintenance and meetings, AI Q&A, security hardening, and a new build planned for 2026.
8f-2 Studio · Taipei
A design studio between technology and poetry.
We build websites for art festivals, biennials and museum programmes, turning curatorial texts into spaces you can walk into, and keeping them running long after opening night.

Selected work
Websites made since 2022 with museums, festivals and research programmes in Taiwan.

A four-language biennale site with a works map and calendar, our first Nuxt + headless WordPress build.
Island of Resilience: Dwelling in Sound | Taitung Sound Art Festival 2026
Third consecutive year with the festival: a mountain-and-starlight site that changes with the real time of day, plus a sound map of artists' field recordings.
Democratic Camera | Taiwan International Photography Festival 2025
The first Taiwan International Photography Festival: three exhibitions, with Mandarin, Taiwanese and English audio guides for every work.
Mazu 2049 Lunar Orbit Station | NSTC Humanities & Chip Programme
A speculative research exhibition site: a Three.js front page and an AI assistant trained on each project's own description.
Chimera Island | Digital Art Festival Taipei 2024
Three consecutive editions of the festival site, each turning the year's key visual into an interactive Three.js front page, in Chinese and English.
Convolutions | TFAM Net.Open
TFAM's online exhibition platform: a bilingual build of the designer's layouts, with an AI chat window trained on the exhibition's own texts.
Sonic Shaman 2024 | TheCube Forum Music Festival
A festival site with a slowly rotating full-page background and musician cards you flip through like record sleeves.
Three things we do
- 01
Exhibition and programme websites
Festivals, biennials, forums and research platforms. Multilingual, calendars, registration, audio guides, embedded video, launched on the exhibition's own schedule.
- 02
Interactive and immersive visuals
Three.js, shaders and scroll-driven narrative turn the key visual into a space you can enter. Visitors start seeing the show in their first minute on the site.
- 03
Long-term maintenance and security
Hosting, vulnerability scanning and fixes, Cloudflare protection, performance tuning, newsletters and membership. Monthly retainers with regular meetings. Launch is where the work begins.
Our stack
Nuxt in front, WordPress behind
Editors keep the WordPress back end they know; visitors get a static Nuxt front end. Faster pages, easier security audits, and more room for the key visual. The 2026 Tainan Art Biennale was our first site built this way.
