理念 Statement
關渡自然公園是高科技都市化的台北市內,僅存的一塊自然保護區;「在城市與自然兩種都市型態間的競逐張力,就是我想表達的意涵。」這項作品將於關渡自然公園內,設置一個三公尺見方、以天然物質製作的「刪除鍵」,如同麥金塔電腦的鍵盤型式。「它要表達的是這城市求新求變的企圖心,進而引發都市的開發,對消失與存在、毀滅與建設之間的相互對話。」

I understand this event in the following way: Guandu Nature Park’s outdoor sculpture festival is a way of looking at the Park as the only natural wild land for a cyber-tech city such as Taipei.  The tension between these two urban modalities is the text for my creative concept.  I plan to set up a site-specific installation in Guandu Park, the non-architectural space as well as a natural environment, consisting of a 3-meter by 3-meter “delete” key simulating the “delete” key of a Mac G5 computer, but constructing it with natural materials.  It aims to express the constant desire for innovation in the city.  It leads to a consideration of the dialectical relationships between “disappearance and appearance; deconstruction and construction” in the urban present progressive tense.
