月下百科,夜行有成。妖怪鬼魅擾,夜幕降臨。形態各異,驚懼幽夜裡,毛骨悚然。
人類藉由百科全書標誌著一套系統化的知識體系需求,並深信萬物與其對應的資訊終有可完善性。而難以計數的知識堆積儲藏之地中,總有幽暗未明之境,那是頁與頁之間的夾縫,也是A面與B面相互反覆覆寫的空間,那是深夜時的贖罪與釋放,因此不同時代會產生其對應的夜行現象。
〈百科夜行〉交織著龐雜的歷史與自白,藉由不同裝置播送著截然不同的文本,透過文字堆疊不同領域的條目,建立時間與地方脈絡之中不穩定且錯誤連結的真實世界,是一種自身(the self)與公領域的相遇和重新協商。
在真實無法自我表彰真實下,月光也無光,萬物共舞也共謀。
Moonlit encyclopedia, Noctivagant happened.
Spirits haunt, dusk arrives.
Varied forms, in dark they shiver,
Fear grips the night, souls quiver.
Humanity, through encyclopedias, signifies a demand for a systematic body of knowledge, and firmly believes in the perfectibility of information corresponding to all things. Yet, within the vast, incalculable repositories of knowledge, there are always dark, uncharted territories. These exist between the pages and within the spaces where Side A and Side B are repeatedly overwritten, acting as the sites of redemption and release during the late hours. As a result, different eras give rise to their respective nocturnal phenomena.
Noctivagant encyclopedia intertwines a complex history and confession. Through various devices, it plays entirely different essays, layering entries from diverse domains to create an unstable and erroneous connection within the context of time and place in the real world. It represents an encounter and renegotiation between the self and the public domain.
In a reality where truth cannot validate itself, moonlight loses its illumination, and all things conspire as they dance together.
