Overview

Using the first chapter of Natsume Sōseki’s "I Am a Cat" as the base text, this project creates a participatory interactive website designed to offer an entirely new reading experience.
It allows the audience to immerse themselves in the storyline while reading, encouraging reflection, and enables them to edit or annotate the text. Through this reconstruction, the work fosters an ongoing dialogue between the text and the user.

以夏目漱石 《我是貓》的文本製作一個參與式的互動網站,旨在重新創造一個全新的閱讀體驗,讓觀眾在閱讀文本的同時沉浸劇情其中反思,並能編輯或加註,讓文本藉由被重新構築,創造與使用者不斷對話的過程。

Inspired by Natsume Sōseki’s "I Am a Cat"

"Can a person detach from their own subjectivity to re-examine themselves?"
This was the core concept I first extracted from I Am a Cat.
Just like how Natsume Sōseki projected himself onto the cat in the book, I reflected on whether I have truly been living well and whether I understand my own inner self.

However, reading is a fascinating journey.
I do not wish to confine people to arriving at the same reflections as I did. Instead, I hope that at different times and in different places, through repeated reading, they can gain their own epiphany.
Thus, I shifted my creative focus toward crafting a reading experience.

「人能否脫離自身的主體性,重新審視自己?」

這是我最初從《我是貓》這本書中提煉出的核心概念。 如同夏目漱石將自己投射到書中的貓身上一般,我開始反思自己是否真正好好地生活著,以及是否真正理解自己的內心。

然而,閱讀是一段奇妙的旅程。 我不希望人們被侷限於得出與我相同的反思。相反地,我希望大家能在不同的時間、不同的場所,透過反覆閱讀,獲得屬於自己的體悟。 因此,我將創作的重心轉向打造一種閱讀體驗。

Innovative way of reading

Wonder if anyone has experienced this moment in a library — borrowing a book and finding traces of different readers’ thoughts within it, as if countless people from different times and places were conversing with you through the same book. That is exactly what I wish to recreate.

Based on what I mentioned above, the core structure of this simulation website rests on three elements — reading the text, guiding reflection, and interactive editing.
With these three pillars, it aims to create a comfortable and immersive interactive experience. The site is designed to let different users can collaboratively edit content, turning the site into a new vessel for dialogue, and giving traditional reading experiences new possibilities.

不知道大家是否曾有過這樣的經驗:在圖書館借閱一本書時,發現書中留下了不同讀者的思考痕跡,彷彿來自不同時空與地點的無數人,正透過同一本書與自己展開對話。這正是我想重新創造的體驗。

基於上述想法,這個模擬網站的核心架構建立在三個元素之上——閱讀文本、引導思考,以及互動編輯。
透過這三個支柱,它旨在打造一個舒適且沉浸式的互動體驗。網站被設計成能讓不同使用者共同編輯內容,使其成為一種新的對話載體,並為傳統的閱讀體驗開啟更多可能性。
