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.

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.
