Artwork description:
re:form 「革新與形變」 is a multi-layered art project combining exhibition and community engagement through sound and light installation, graphic notation, and sound drawing workshop. Centered on urban listening, it reveals micro-narratives of how soundscapes shape personal and collective relationships to the city, as lampshades pulse in rhythms embodying its tempo while imagining possible futures.
re:form 「革新與形變」 是一個多層次的藝術計畫，透過聲光裝置、圖像記譜（graphic notation）以及聲音繪畫工作坊，將展覽與社群參與緊密結合。本計畫以「都市聆聽」為核心，揭示了聲景如何形塑個人與集體對城市的關係等微觀敘事（micro-narratives）；在此同時，展場中的燈罩將隨著體現城市步調的節奏而起伏跳動，勾勒並想像著未來的種種可能。
