The creative iteration of Tender Soul of Ocean: recall deepens the symbiotic relationship between humanity and the environment. This work is an installation adaptable to various indoor spaces, composed of numerous modular components that allow it to exhibit diverse configurations based on the site's characteristics. Through collaboration with the German sound art team Kling Klang Klong, the piece incorporates a speculative future wind field model and audience kinetic sensing. The light and sound are generated by real-time wind data and the participation of the on-site audience. Crucially, the light and sound in the work are generated purely by immediate data computation, using no sampled material. The more audience members present and the more active the interaction, the more distinct the "melody" and "noise" generated by the field become, positioning the audience as co-creators of the climate rhythm.


Tender Soul of Ocean: recall has demonstrated its versatility and adaptability across various locations: in September of 2025, a smaller version was exhibited at the Ars Electronica Festival in Austria; subsequently, it presented an infinitely version at the C-Lab Sound Art Festival in Taiwan; and in November, an infinite island-like version was displayed in CMP-inspiration museum Taichung.


Within Tender Soul of Ocean: recall, light and sound are not presented as two parallel and coexisting sensory vocabularies, but rather as forces that mutually attract and continuously generate each other’s actions. They simultaneously extend two temporal dimensions: "real climate" and "speculative future." Light is always the first to form kinetic energy in space, instantly mapping the wind's direction and rhythm, seemingly opening a traversable climate trajectory for the viewer. The intervention of sound, conversely, unfolds from the internal senses; it influences breathing and perceptual rhythm, encouraging viewers not merely to "watch" the space, but to merge into the field and become an integral part of it.


The real-time data of on-site wind force and the dynamic participation of the audience continuously modify the light and sound of the field. Meanwhile, the future wind field derived from climate models, acting as a climate memory that has yet to occur, quietly permeates the space and overlaps with the present moment. As the observer's interaction becomes more active, the emerging rhythm and resonance of the field become clearer, much like an improvisational climate performance where the audience is not standing outside looking in, but rather co-shaping the rhythm of the wind within it.


In this iteration, our pursuit is not an installation to be merely viewed, but a sensory field capable of self-evolution. Memory is not treated as statically preserved data, but as a state of continuous generation: the sea breeze from the immediate environment, the imagination of future climate, and the breathing and action of the observer in the present moment interweave in the field, creating a palpable and resonant present climate.

《海境:回溯 Tender Soul of Ocean: recall》 的創作版本深化人與環境的共生關係。這件作品是一個可適應不同室內空間的裝置,它由許多模組化的元件組合而成,能依據場域特性展現多樣的形態。 透過與德國聲音藝術團隊 Kling Klang Klong 的合作,作品加入了推測的未來風場模型與觀眾動態感測,使燈光與聲音皆由即時風力與現場觀眾的參與所生成。作品中的燈光與聲音完全由即時數據運算生成,不使用任何取樣素材。 觀眾越多、互動越活躍,場域所產生的「旋律」、「雜訊」便越趨鮮明,觀眾也因此成為氣候節奏的共構者。


《海境:回溯 Tender Soul of Ocean: recall》在不同地點呈現了其多變性與適應性:今年9月,作品在奧地利林茲電子藝術節(Ars electronica)展出了一個較小的版本;接著,在台北台灣的CLAB聲音藝術節展出了一個無限延伸的海岸線;並在11月份於台中台灣展出了一個無限的島狀的版本。


在《海境:回溯 Tender Soul of Ocean: recall》中,光與聲並非作為兩種平行並存的感官語彙,而是彼此牽引、持續生成對方的行動力量,同步延展出「真實氣候」與「推測未來」兩種時間向度。光線總是第一個在空間中形成動能,它即時描繪出風的方向與節奏,彷彿為觀者開啟一道可被行走的氣候軌跡;聲音的介入則是從內在感官展開,它會影響呼吸與感知節奏,讓人不是單純「觀看」空間,而是融入場域,成為其中一份子。當光與聲在系統中持續牽引並調變彼此,它們所生成的,是一個具有呼吸般脈動的環境狀態,而觀眾的存在即是這個脈動得以形成的條件。


現場風力的即時資料與觀眾的動態參與,持續改變場域的光與聲;而來自氣候模型的未來風場,則以一種尚未發生的氣候記憶,悄然滲入空間並與當下交疊。當觀者的互動越趨活躍,場域所浮現的律動與旋響也越清晰,彷彿一場正在即興生成的氣候演出,觀眾不是站在外部觀看,而是在其中共同塑造風的節奏。


在這個版本中,我們所追求的並非一個被觀看的裝置,而是一個能夠自我演化的感知場域。記憶不被視為靜態保存的資料,而是一種持續生成的狀態:來自即時環境的海風、以及對未來氣候的想像,與此刻觀者的呼吸與行動交織在一起,於場域中形成一個可被感知、可被共鳴的當下氣候。
