Revisiting Taitung Art Museum with your Ears

With the concepts of socially engaged art and new genre public art, this project looks into the possibility of empathy activated by sounds and voices. This sound project is based on the recorded interview done by the students from Bausun Junior High School.They interviewed people working in TAM park and provided them a channel to voice their feelings usually kept deep down inside.

During the festival period, visitors can download App Chito to listen and learn about thouse in-depth stories. With the “revisit”action,we might be able to re-connect with the strangers who we’ve constantly encountered in our daily life.
