2026 留聲譜 The Soundscape Score
《留聲譜》以一條入口即是出口的聲音走廊，探討集體記憶的成立條件，以及超高齡社會下所迎接的「未來」將如何改變。在這個由多聲道所組成的空間中，觀眾自身發出的聲響將會被麥克風捕捉，也將在喇叭中聆聽到前一位觀眾所留下的聲音。作品將聆聽轉化為一種身體經驗，讓觀眾在穿越作品形塑的空間時，感受到那些逐漸被放大的個體聲響——呼吸、腳步與身體移動留下的痕跡。
當聲音在不同身體之間累積、交疊與消融，形成持續變動的聲音景觀，作品也試圖追問：當人口不斷縮減，支撐集體記憶的環境逐漸變得稀薄，未來是否仍能產生新的記憶方法？
The Soundscape Score explores the conditions under which collective memory is formed, and how the “future” may be transformed in an increasingly super-aged society. The work takes the form of a sound corridor in which the entrance also serves as the exit. Within this multichannel environment, the sounds produced by visitors are captured by microphones, while loudspeakers play back the sounds left behind by those who passed through the space before them.
Transforming listening into a bodily experience, the work invites visitors to encounter the traces of individual presence as they move through the corridor. Breathing, footsteps, and bodily movements gradually become amplified, rendering audible the subtle imprints of human presence. As these sounds accumulate, overlap, and dissolve across different bodies, they form an ever-changing soundscape.
Against the backdrop of a declining population and the gradual thinning of the social environments that sustain collective memory, can new ways of remembering still emerge in the future?
