For over a century, Hsinchu Dongmen Market has been a culturally and artistically significant landmark in Hsinchu. Despite undergoing various reforms, it continues to serve as a testament to the current era. "Soundscape Mapping: Hsinchu Dongmen Market" is an interactive auditory project that documents the market's memories.
This project allows audiences to freely explore the market and interact with various objects through an interactive sound map. The market's cultural and auditory value is enhanced by its unique soundscape, created through rhythmic fragmentation of actual market sounds, and background music.
Audience-Controlled Character ：
The audience controls an Avatar movement within a market environment, eliciting corresponding prerecorded sounds as they pass through different sections. Objects with distinct auditory features, such as industrial fans and the sizzling sounds of a kitchen, are strategically placed for the audience to discern their visual attributes and intricate sound details through focused observation. Gazing at these objects prompts the appearance of luminous particle highlights in the air. As the audience approaches and maintains their gaze, it triggers transformations within the objects, accompanied by the playback of associated sound.
