從前有一個名叫「meta」的設計創作展

「如果元宇宙有個創作展，它該會是什麼樣的光景？」2017 年，四個學生試著用展覽回答這樣的問題。從分別來自平面設計、互動設計、動態設計與推測設計的角度，提出他們對於近未來光景的想像（也是為了從交大應藝所順利畢業）於是展覽名稱彷彿從天而降的定了下來：「meta」。

以下這段寫給所有經歷過辦展的學生。

我們應該都同意，它就是個避無可避的惡夢。無論是班展、畢業展、師生展、成果展，各位想必都清楚它從概念到成形過程中種種煩躁與荒謬之事。在當年 meta 展結束後，帶著各自的收穫，他們也發現了一些關於創作展的心得：·

因為 meta 的主旨是「用作品開啟想像」，沒有客戶、沒有售票，沒有人流、曝光、收益、周邊、報告等等的壓力，我們得以專心創作、為了作品最完美的樣態去規劃空間、燈光、聲音與視覺，因此我們得到了非常多質化的回饋，也非常珍惜這些針對作品的評論。這樣的策展方式在學生時期司空見慣，但出了社會之後卻是難能可貴；也是懷著這樣的初心，才會在五年後想再次專心致志地再帶給大家一次「純粹的創作展」。

觀展與策展，體驗上是完全不同的。身為創作者們，往往對每一件作品都瞭若指掌，每道工項都如數家珍，但大多數人在逛展時，是不清楚命題、作者、形式，甚至是要如何正確打開眼前的畫面的。即便有導覽者在旁解說，對部分參觀者而言，可能也是過度的干涉詮釋、作者不死（？）甚至是單純目光的壓力。因此如何適當且妥協的「透過空間引導大家進入觀賞的狀態」絕對是任何展覽都不能輕視的硬功夫；身為創作者，很容易就疏忽了這一環節，今年我們希望能好好的再梳理一次正確的觀展體驗。

說到設計與創作展，我們可以想見有多種形式，不過大多都是以「萬川入海」的方式集結而成，其實國內許多優秀的展覽典範往往是以院校、城市、甚至是國家等級的博覽會，標配有大量的講座、名家代言、集體議題發表與大廠進駐而成，展覽的打擊面極廣，且照顧各種受眾——至於與之完全相反的道路，小型的創作展萬不可這樣操作，因為起心動念與資源便完全不對等，因此滿足「作品的深度」與「鑑賞的條件」才會是這種展覽的發力處，更是許多藝術家個展的關注點，然而，就跨領域展與設計展而言，這樣的操作卻幾無典範，因此今年我們更加想探索這樣的策展方式。

As the saying goes, “You are what you think.” (Literal Translation: We feel pleasured when the surroundings are controlled by our heart; we feel annoyed when our heart is controlled by the surroundings.) In the chaotic world, what influences our emotions and mental states is not the outer surroundings, but rather the inner feelings and sentiments.

“Internal Phenomenon” revolves around the topic emotion. Connected with new media, the exhibition is aimed to recreate the process of emotional transitions, by reconstructing interactive images. Fallen in the torrent of emotions, the viewer could realize the essence of emotions as well as the importance of shifting mental states.

動態圖文 (Motion Graphics ) 自問世以來，在平面設計、廣告等大眾信息的傳播中始終扮演著重要的角色。過往的多數作品中，由拉丁與羅馬字母作為主角的動態圖文未曾缺席；相較下使用漢字所完成的案例卻屈指可數。

由於東西方文字的差異，使用相同的設計方法未必全然合適。在過去經手的商業案例中，由於能夠參考的中文動態案例不足，許多時候會面臨難以盡情伸展拳腳的情況。為了洞察漢字所獨有的特性與表現空間，我認為以自己所能可盡綿薄之力，因此展開了一系列的設計實驗，希望可以帶給其他平面與動態設計師一些參考素材。

Since the advent of motion graphic, it plays an important role in the dissemination of information.

However, most of motion graphics are products of the Roman alphabet, relatively few examples of Chinese instead. Because of the difference between Oriental characters and Westerns, using the same design approach is not entirely appropriate.

In addition to offering insights into Chinese design evaluation associated with the contents of design quality on motion, it is hoped that the findings of this study could facilitate understanding of how designers or design students learn the evaluation and unique of Chinese / Taiwanese graphic designs.

「如果沒有人問我什麼是時間，我知道時間是什麼，一旦有人提出這個問題，我就不能知道這個問題的答案是什麼。」──古羅馬哲學家奧古斯丁

時間是一個與我們息息相關，卻似乎無法被精確定義的概念。我們活在時間之中，但若是沒有「意識」，時間又似乎不存在了。透過不同的角度觀察，時間便會展現不同的樣貌，有時如天體運行般穩定而永恆，有時卻像一縷青煙，倏忽即逝。

如果對於時間有更多認識，我們是否更能掌握我們的人生呢？透過《突向持存 Temporality》這一系列三件作品，我開展了一連串關於主觀時間與客觀時間的討論，試圖透過設計激發觀者對於時間的想像，挖掘時間的更多可能。

“What then is time? If no one asks me, I know what it is. If I wish to explain it to him who asks, I do not know.” — Saint Augustine

Time is everywhere in our life, yet few can define it precisely. Our living is based on the time, but without our conscious, time seems to be nothing. Time shows its diversity when we understand it from different angle: sometimes it is as stable and eternal as the sun, while it suddenly disappears like a wisp of smoke other times.

In this exhibition, I attempt to inspire the imagination of time of the viewers through design, discovering more possibilities of time.

二零一六年八月到十二月這段期間，因為交換的計畫而到了歐洲，在數個月裡，生活不再緊湊，開始有較多的時間思考體會生活，因此我開始了“PICK UP AND POSTER IT!”這個計畫，透過收集生活的片段，累積素材，除了食衣住行，還有旅行的體會，Design is always inspired by life，在累積了這些特別的生活經驗後，經由思考轉化，去蕪存菁，我製作了一系列的海報，用圖像的方式說明及紀錄這段過程。主題分成四大項:生活/食物/植物/Random Boom生活:到了新的地方，每件事都是新的體驗，不管是在每天去上學會經過的車站邊，或是常去的商店，都可以找到值得紀錄下來的細節，這也是我探索這座城市的樂趣之一。食物：食物是生活中很重要的一部分，民以食為天，雋永的記憶很多都來自於在旅行中遇見的食物，他讓我可以快速串連這個城市，感受當地的文化，所以我嘗試在食物裡尋找設計的靈感，希望從另一個角度創作作品。植物：芬蘭的植被覆蓋率極高，因此放眼望去，自然無所不在，這是一個讓人感到平靜的地方，我很喜歡在學校及家裡的附近散步，在過程中可以發現很多迷人的植物，探索自然也可以與自己對話，除了可以靜心思考，也可以對周遭的環境觀察更入微。 Random Boom：Random Booooooooooom 來自於一直想嘗試的手法及隨機的靈感，這是一組沒有主題的作品，希望觀者閱讀這組作品時，可以恣意的想像。

“PICK UP AND POST IT!” is a project born within life. It is an accumulation collected from some scraps of my life, such as food, clothing, transporting, my everyday life, and traveling, my abroad life. I believe that “Design is inspired by life.” Gathering and sorting out these pieces of my life, I turn my ideas into concrete designs and posters, exhibiting my way of life for you, and also recording it for me.There are four series: Random Boom / Food / Life / BotanicalLife:Living in Europe is so different from living in Taiwan. Everything was so fresh to me. It made me want to take down every single detail in my daily life, for example, the bus stop on my way to school, the market I visit most, and so on. It was so much fun and it even became a motivation that drove me to explore more of the city.Food:Well goes the Chinese saying, “people regard food as their heaven” (min yi shi wei tian, or food is what matters to people); food is considered an important element in our life. To me, most of my impressions and everlasting memories come from the food I encounter during my trips. Just a taste, it connects me with the city and the culture there. Then it hits me that I should seek inspiration from food and create my works from a different angle. So here it is.Botanical:The plant coverage is high in Finland. When I was in Finland, I often found myself surrounded by nature. I liked to take a walk around my neighborhood and take a stroll in my campus; on the way, I discovered lots of charming and fascinating plants. It is a place where people can feel calm and relaxed. To explore the nature is to explore one’s inner self; one can think calmly and deeply through conversations with oneself. It can also refresh one’s mind and make one a better observer.Random Boom:The concept of this section arises from the longing crafts I’ve always wanted to apply. It is a section filled with random ideas; thus, the titles are left empty. Hope you all could have no limitations or restrictions to stop your imaginations running wild.
