Crystal Seeding, created by three artists—Hsu Chia-Wei, Chang Ting-Tong, and Cheng Hsien-Yu, is a collaborative project with Taisugar's Huwei Sugar Factory. Sucrose being the inspirational departure point, the project addresses Taiwanese puppet theatre, experimental music, sugar 3D printing, and robotic arms, through whose intertwined complexity the history of a small town in the last century is investigated. The sugar industry was among the first to witness early modernization in Taiwan. In 1907, Dai Nippon Sugar Manufacturing Co. built the Huwei Sugar Factory, one that produced the most sugar in this country at the time. With the introduction of industrialized factories, new industrial towns started to appear in Chiayi-Tainan Plain. Huwei Township was then transformed into the most modernized city/town in Southern Taiwan. Because of the Pacific War outbreak, Huwei Sugar Factory was later expanded for ethanol production.
The alcoholic fermentation converting sugars into energy and producing ethanol provided the fuel to Kamikaze, the Japanese Special Attack Unit, and resulted in the destructive bombing attacks at the factory. The sugar industry dwindled after the war, and the town was no longer up and coming. The multi-channel video installation tells a narrative adapted from Japanized puppet theatre piece Kurama Tengu performed by the Sheng Ping Puppet Troupe. By merging reality and fictionality, the project illustrates the history of Huwei Township. Moreover, the recorded performance of composer Hui Tak-Cheung in the sugar factory, interspersed in the video, turns the factory into site-specific "musical instruments." In a theatre-like setting, a robotic arm, a 3D printer, and flag carrier emblems are all actors in this play who enter the stage as the narrative unfolds, and play various "roles" as well as demonstrate different "incidents" on stage.

《等晶播種》為許家維、鄭先喻、張碩尹三位藝術家共同製作。本計劃與台糖虎尾糖廠合作，以蔗糖為引子延伸布袋戲、實驗音樂、糖3D列印科技與機械手臂，在此複雜又彼此關聯的網絡爬梳小鎮百年歷史。糖業為臺灣首波現代化工業，1907年，大日本製糖株式會社興建的虎尾糖廠為當時產量最高的糖廠。機械化工業引進，產業型新興市鎮在嘉南平原應運而生，虎尾鎮成為當時南臺灣最現代化的城鎮。太平洋戰爭開啟，虎尾鎮酒精糖廠因用以發酵糖蜜的無水酒精為神風特攻隊能源，而遭毀滅式轟炸。糖業小鎮也於戰後沒落。
《等晶播種》為多頻道影像裝置，影片敘事改寫自皇民化布袋戲《鞍馬天狗》並由戲團昇平五洲園演出，虛實結合訴說虎尾鎮歷史；片中穿插作曲家許德彰在虎尾糖廠內的演奏，將工廠轉化成現地「樂器」；如同劇場的環境，機械手臂、3D列印機、航空旗號化身劇目演員，隨故事推進扮演不同的「角色」與「事件」。
