當我們聆聽《望春風》，心中期待的究竟是什麼呢？這不僅是一首歌的故事，更是近代台灣文化的一個縮影。這次展覽以《望春風》為主軸，回顧這首歌從1933年首次錄音發表後的變遷歷程。當時，它迅速成為流行曲，後來更延伸出歌中劇、唱片、電影等多種形式，隨著時代不斷被改編。戰後，幾乎所有知名歌手都曾重新詮釋這首曲子，版本多到數不清。透過《望春風》的傳唱、演出、內涵與應用，我們可以窺見創作者、歌者和聽眾之間的互動，以及那段時代裡豐富的社會文化脈動。

展覽以「錄音」作為核心語彙，中央設置匯集了不同時代的樂器錄音間，周圍展示著各年代版本的《望春風》錄音和歌詞。展櫃設計成錄音室控台的造型，象徵這首歌在不同時代背景下的重新操作與詮釋。觀賞路線則是依循年代順序，讓觀眾隨著音樂的變化走一圈，仿佛在音樂中重溫台灣的歷史：從日治時期的愛情故事，到戰亂、經濟起飛、民主運動，再到國家認同的討論。我們特別選出七首風格各異的《望春風》，透過定向喇叭與音軌動畫投影，讓觀眾彷彿漫步在唱片的音軌上，感受《望春風》多變的旋律。而走到最後，觀眾會回到這首歌的初版，重新思考：在經歷這段音樂之旅後，對這首歌的理解是否有了新的感受？

此外，展覽還利用當下的AI技術，在錄音室中央定時播放早期歌手的虛擬演出。我們特意保留了AI生成動畫的那種略帶拼接感的特質，用這種不太完美的方式，拼湊出大眾記憶中的明星樣貌。這些影像在虛實之間遊走，既帶來懷舊的氛圍，也增添了一份科技感，讓人覺得既熟悉又新鮮。這樣的呈現，不僅讓經典重現，也讓觀眾體驗到科技與文化記憶交織出的獨特魅力。

When we listen to "Wang Chun Feng," what are we truly anticipating? This is not just the story of a song; it is a microcosm of modern Taiwanese culture. This exhibition takes "Wang Chun Feng" as its central theme, tracing the evolution of this song since its first recording in 1933. At that time, it quickly became a popular tune, later extending into musical dramas, records, films, and other forms, continuously being reinterpreted through the changing times. After the war, almost every renowned singer reinterpreted this song, with countless versions emerging. Through the transmission, performance, and interpretations of "Wang Chun Feng," we can glimpse the interaction between creators, singers, and listeners, as well as the rich cultural pulse of that era.

The exhibition uses "recording" as its core concept, with a recording room in the center that features instruments from different eras, surrounded by displays of various versions of "Wang Chun Feng" recordings and lyrics. Display cabinets are designed in the shape of a recording studio control panel, symbolizing how this song has been reworked and reimagined in different historical contexts. The exhibition route follows a chronological order, guiding visitors through a musical journey that revisits Taiwan's history: from the love stories of the Japanese colonial period, to wartime struggles, economic booms, democratic movements, and debates about national identity. We have selected seven stylistically distinct versions of "Wang Chun Feng," using directional speakers and animated soundtracks to create the experience of walking along the grooves of a vinyl record, immersing visitors in the evolving melodies of the song. At the end, visitors are brought back to the original version of "Wang Chun Feng," inviting them to reflect: after experiencing this musical journey, do they now perceive the song's history differently?

Additionally, the exhibition incorporates contemporary AI technology, with virtual performances of early singers being projected at set times in the recording room. We intentionally retain the slightly patchy quality typical of AI-generated animations, using this imperfect style to reconstruct the public's memory of beloved stars. These images, existing in a space between reality and imagination, evoke a sense of nostalgia while also adding a touch of modernity. This unique presentation not only brings a classic back to life but also offers visitors a chance to experience the fascinating interplay between technology and cultural memory.
