Taiwan Design Expo'21 in Chiayi 《 Misplace 》

Chiayi

Well water carries nutrients from the past, and nurtures the future.

We follow the water system, search for traces in urban development, and learn about stories behind Red-Hair Well, the oldest heritage site in existence in Chiayi now. With different channels and timelines, we can almost hear murmurs in Chiayi, as if sounds and symbols from different water levels.

The title # # # looks like “well” in Chinese characters, and also displaced codes. We invite viewers to see from different angles, imagine themselves as water, and interact with the device at will. Through visuals, we introduce the abstract concept of time, symbolize the convergence of past and future, and bring cultural icons into interactive experiences via different viewpoints.
