Taipei Poetry Map is an interactive website made of 360° panorama pictures with stylized texts floating inside. This website allows visitors to explore the hustle and bustle of Taipei. Visitors can also hear the sound of the city by touching those floating texts. The texts are random sentences picked up from the street such as a conversation between friends, vendor hawking, people complaining about the weather etc. There is no direct connection between each text. However, these sentences do exist in the same place. All the texts will show up in a small blank in the centre of the screen in order after touched. This meaningless composition of texts can be considered as a poem, a kind of poetry that belongs to this special location. The visitor can download this poem and post it on social media with #TaipeiPoetryMap if they willing to do it.
台北詩歌地圖是一個互動式網站。此網站由可供拖曳的360度全景圖與漂浮其中的圖像化文字所構成。參訪者可以藉由此網站探索繁忙的台北市區,而當他們碰觸到畫面中漂浮的文字時將會聽到相對應的語句。這些文字收集自台北的街頭,像是路人的交談、攤商的叫賣、以及自言自語等。這些語句彼此之間無任何關聯,只不過是在同一個城市、同一條街道被說出來罷了。而這些網站內的文字在被碰觸到後會依序顯示在螢幕中央的空格之內,形成一個沒有任何意義的組合。而這隨意堆砌的文字,我願稱其為詩,一個專屬於這座城市以及拜訪者的詩。這詩是可以下載的,並希冀其創造者願意轉發到社群媒體上並標註#TaipeiPoetryMap。
