孢鳴魚 ／ 混種殘片系統 系列之三
Sporosonic Fish
Hybrid Fragment System .3
我一直想知道——雨，還沒變成雨之前，是什麼樣子？
〈孢鳴魚〉是我長期創作計劃《混種殘片系統》中的一項子模組。「孢鳴魚」（Sporosonic Fish）靈感來自台灣傳說中能發出音樂聲響卻無人見過真身的怪魚「鳴魚」。在作品裡，我創造出一種介於生物與神話之間的混種生命：「孢鳴魚」，祂能呼出雨孢，混合雨港城市的身體記憶，透過擬生態與偽文獻敘述，編織出一種來自「尚未成形之雨」的敘事結構與物種語言。
I have always wondered—before rain becomes rain, what form does it take?
Sporosonic Fish is a sub-module of my long-term project Hybrid Fragment System. The “Sporosonic Fish” takes inspiration from a Taiwanese legend about a mysterious creature known as the “Sonic Fish,” said to emit musical sounds though its body was never seen. In my work, I created a hybrid entity that wavers between biology and myth: the Sporosonic Fish. It exhales rain spores that blend with the body-memory of portside cities. Through pseudo-ecological and archival-fictive narratives, it weaves a structure of storytelling and species-language that arises from “the rain not yet formed.”
