α-Forest 阿爾法聲林

A participatory immersive theater using EEG brainwave sensing and AI-generated visuals to guide audiences through a collective journey into the subconscious.運用 EEG 腦波感測與 AI 生成視覺的參與式沉浸劇場,引導觀眾進入潛意識的集體意識旅程。

α-Forest integrates electronic sound, interactive design, and AI algorithmic imaging to create a multi-sensory healing experience. Drawing from a field residency among the Bunun indigenous community in Nantou, Taiwan, the work captures audience brainwaves (EEG) and physical movement data to generate real-time co-created audio-visual content. Across two scenes — Dream Immersion and Dream Exploration — visitors descend into their own subconscious, then awaken into an AI-constructed dreamscape of mountain forest imagery and consciousness streams. The piece situates healing within a technologically mediated but profoundly bodily framework, using the immersive infrastructure of NTMoFA's U-108 SPACE as both container and instrument.《α-Forest》結合電子聲響、互動設計與 AI 演算法生成影像,創造出一個多重感官的療癒體驗。汲取自南投布農族部落的駐村田調經驗,作品即時捕捉觀眾的腦波 (EEG) 與身體肢體動態數據,共同生成即時的影音內容。透過進入「夢境沉浸 (Dream Immersion)」與「夢境探索 (Dream Exploration)」兩大場景——觀眾潛入自己的潛意識,接著在 AI 建構的台灣高山森林與意識流中甦醒。這件作品將療癒置於科技為介、但深深扎根於身體感官的框架之中,將國美館 U-108 SPACE 的沉浸式設施作為容器與樂器。

Positioned within the intersecting frameworks of multisensory immersion and posthuman perception, α-Forest interrogates the boundary between inner biological states and algorithmically constructed environments. The EEG interface makes cognition legible — and shared — within a collectively inhabited space, reframing healing as a practice simultaneously intimate and distributed. The work's grounding in Bunun dream-reading culture (Taisah) introduces an indigenous epistemology of consciousness into a high-technology performance context.《α-Forest》位處多感官沉浸與後人類感知的交會框架中,探問內在生物狀態與演算法建構環境之間的邊界。腦波 (EEG) 介面使得認知在集體共存的空間中變得可視、且被共享——將療癒重新形塑為同時既是私密的、又是分散式的實踐。作品以布農族的「夢占 (Taisah)」文化為底蘊,將原住民的意識認識論引入高科技的展演語境之中。
