Shih Chieh Huang creates sculptural ecosystems using computer parts and common objects, such as plastic bags and bottles, which he animates in installations that mix a machine aesthetic with an organic impulse. Gathering inspiration from marine biology, Huang explores bioluminescence and its role in seduction and reproduction in the deep sea.

Shih Chieh Huang is an installation artist who builds sculptures that resemble bioluminescent organisms of the deep sea. He creates his installations from common household objects like small electronic devices, plastic, and computer fans. He then illuminates them with LED lights. The construction may sound a bit primitive, but this is what makes these sculptures so fascinating. He is able to achieve building these machines to move and act, like for example, a deep sea jellyfish out of objects that you probably have lying around your garage. Huang controls the movement of the “organisms” through the use of a TV monitors with eyes on them. Somehow the opening and closing of the eye acts as a switch to initiates various movements for the installations to make. Huang is also noted for building giant “worms” out of painter’s plastic, box fans, and bungee cords in public places. The creations he calls “organic concepts” move about and are made to be for viewer to interact with.

What makes Huang so special to the Smithsonian is that in 2007 he examined many specimens of the Natural History’s collection of deep sea animals specifically those with bio-luminescence. His research allowed for him to understand how these creatures adapt to their dark environments and their biological make-up that allows them to illuminate.

黃世傑，1975 年出生的台北人。後來就讀於聖地牙哥加州大學分校，並在紐約的視覺藝術學院取得碩士學位（MFA）。在成長過程中，習慣自己修理家中的機器，以及組裝遙控賽車。總是對於「發現事物如何運作」很感興趣。

他的作品，大多運用現代文明社會中常出現的一些零件作為作品創作的元素，例如超薄的塑膠袋加上活動行封口機，再搭配電風扇作為動力，就產生了一個會動的雕塑。放在大草皮上，遠看就像隻活生生的蚯蚓，探出頭來活動。

此外，電腦零件中的風扇，在台灣的電子街、五金行中是非常容易看到的物品，但是透過藝術家的組合，卻也拼湊出非常有趣的作品，寶特瓶、小型風扇、LED燈、螢光筆，就變成了一個像是一個電子科技的生物。

或是我們每天都買早餐都會得到的一指塑膠袋，在精心設計過後，一整叢的裝置在一起，就如同精靈森林裡面會呼吸的小香菇。這些創意不只是隨手的組合，從藝術家材料的選擇中可以看得出來這些素材不僅僅是方便取得，更是我們生活周遭多到常被忽略的小東西，這些常被人們所濫用的資源往往最後都成了垃圾。但是也由於這些材料的通俗易見，成為作品之後，才更能讓人們產生出一種美感上的落差，而這落差竟也是一種讓人印象深刻的視覺感官。或許，下次當你拿到了這些資源時，或許可以想想他們能如何拼湊出一個有創意的作品。
