About This Exhibition 展覽介紹

Wan Wan Wander No More is the result of one semester of hard work on the part of a special group of middle school first and second graders. Our mission was to learn about a social issue, meet the parties involved, understand the current state of affairs, attempt to identify and analyze the factors behind the many difficulties of the situation, and to put our work and effort into influencing people's beliefs and encouraging positive changes to people's actions.

To do this, we wrestled with moral and ethical questions, attempted to identify our own feelings and values regarding right and wrong, tried to differentiate between group and personal responsibility, and defined for ourselves what it means to be a “good social being”. We spoke with experts and non-profit organizations. We communicated with and gauged the attitude of the general public. We learned a lot of technology to help us communicate these discoveries to the public.

In order to spread what we believe to be a positive message throughout society, and to encourage the people of Taiwan and the world to take seriously the issue of animal welfare, particularly that of helping homeless animals, we planned to hold an art and learning exhibition revolving around this issue. We learned to use a wide array of design software and skills, from 2D to 3D, from digital to physical, from sound editing to visual editing.

Originally planned as a physical exhibition with various interactive and experiential elements, COVID 19 has forced us to move our work online. Although the timeframe for moving all the work to a digital format spanned less than a month, the students' hard work has allowed us to complete a product we feel quite proud of. All work seen here utilized open-source software, with all content completely student-produced. Even the website that you are currently viewing was put together by the students themselves, the data input keystroke by keystroke on our Dokuwiki-based wiki.

We sincerely thank you for your interest in our work, and your interest in the issue of animal rights and protection. If you can, please do what you can to help better the situation of our furry friends. Donate, volunteer, and spread the message. Maybe even adopt a dog from a shelter! For those with the means, giving a home to a homeless dog is the greatest gift possible. Above all, continue caring about this issue and encouraging positive action.

「浪浪不要再流浪」是由一群熱情洋溢、與眾不同的國一、國二生,經過一學期共同努力下的成果。我們的目標是針對一個社會問題進行深入地研究,除了瞭解現況、認識與之相關的社會單位,也去找尋及分析造成此社會問題的根本原因。我們會利用自己的研究結果期許對大衆的思維和行為造成正面的影響。

爲了達成目標,我們採取了以下這些行動。首先,我們進行了倫理道德議題的思辨,試圖找出自己對於是非對錯的斷定標準與價值觀。再來,我們區分了團體責任和個人責任的界線,並定義出如何才能成為「對社會有貢獻的一份子」。我們與許多的專家和非營利組織進行交談和學習,也採訪了很多民眾,試圖瞭解人們對於我們研究的這個社會問題的感受。最後,我們學習如何運用不同的科技來傳遞我們的研究成果與想法。

我們規劃及舉辦這場學習成果藝術展的用意,是為了向社會散播正面的信息,鼓勵台灣和世界各地的民眾正視動物福利這個議題,特別是在幫助流浪動物方面。為了舉辦這個展覽,學生學習了如何使用各種設計軟件和技術,從 2D 到 3D、從數位到實體、從聲音到視覺編輯,來完形形色色的作品。

在我們最初的計劃中,這次的展覽原為一場實體展,且具備許多與觀眾互動和體驗的元素,但因新冠肺炎迫使我們將展覽轉到線上。雖然學生們被給予將所有作品數位化的時間不到一個月,但他們辛勤努力付出將這場線上展化為可能,我們也以他們為榮。這個網站裡看到的所有作品皆是學生使用開源軟體親手製成。甚至網站本身也是由學生運用Dokuwiki 這個Wiki引擎,自己輸入程式搭建而成。

我們誠摯地感謝您對於我們的作品以及動物權益和保護議題上的關注。如果可以的話,希望您也能為我們毛茸茸的朋友們盡一份心力。不論是捐贈、志工服務或是散播信息皆可。如果您有足夠的資源,就請給予這些無家可歸的狗一個家吧!這將會是牠們最好的禮物。請您未來也持續關注這個議題並鼓勵積極正面的公益行動。謝謝您!
