CAFÉ CUP 杯子咖啡店
28th Dec 2017 - 21st Jan 2018

Café CUP是一座飲用實驗室，邀請參與者放開心胸去感受「從一個杯子喝飲料」的感官經驗，客人可從17款不同樣式的杯子去挑選一個喜歡的杯子盛裝飲品。杯子原型的製作發想來自於製作《Science of the Secondary: Cup》 這本書時的調查發現。

Café CUP is a drinking laboratory that invites visitors to be curious about the sensations of drinking from a cup. Customers are free to choose and drink from a collection of 17 cup prototypes, produced in consideration of the findings made through Atelier HOKO’s research publication Science of the Secondary: Cup.

PLATES PLEASE 請給我盤子
28th Dec 2017 - 21st Jan 2018

此區為新作進行中（work-in-progress）展區，觀者會展場遇見一些普通、隨處可見的日常物件；有些是人造的、有些是大量生產的、另外也有些是大自然帶來的禮物。仔細檢視一片果皮或一張紙，我們也許就會發現，人們無意識的手勢或行為，竟串連起了物件和盤子之間微妙相連的意象。

In this work-in-progress exhibition, visitors will encounter normal, everyday artefacts. Some are man-made, mass-manufactured objects, while others as gifts from nature. Examining a fruit peel or a sheet of paper closely, we may encounter the marks of human gestures that produce an intimate sensation of a plate.

A DOZEN EGGS 一打雞蛋
28th Dec 2017 - 14 Jan 2018

在一個半虛擬的場景中，這個展區「A Dozen Eggs 一打雞蛋」希望將討論從什麼是真實、合乎道德與充滿正確性的方向拔出，轉而去關注想像力的延伸。觀察人們的行為與雞蛋的關係，此展將開啟一個提問：「假如…會如何？」 並藉此去推測，當我們面對「蛋是什麼」、「一顆蛋可以做什麼」這類提問時，我們平日的日常互動和生活習慣如何去影響我們做出的各種假設和預期反應。

Situated within a semi-fictitious setting, A Dozen Eggs wish to shift the debate away from what is real, ethical and preferable towards what is imaginable. Translated from observations on peoples behaviour around eggs, this exhibition is presented as a “what-if..?” speculating on how our daily interactions and habits affect our assumptions and expectations of what an egg is or can be.

SCIENCE OF THE SECONDARY（次要科學）

是一份充滿好奇心的處事態度，立志於揭露每日生活經驗底下的各種隱含情狀。「次要」這一詞指的是日常生活當中被人們忽略的事物與其周遭環境。這個領域蘊含著豐富且無限的知識，透過不斷地累積，此研究希望能夠在生活中建立起一個新的感受能力，帶來廣闊的新鮮感與樂趣。


Science of the Secondary is an inquisitive approach towards uncovering implicit conditions that exist in our experience of the everyday. When speaking of the term ‘secondary’, we are referring to conditions and sensations that human beings are not conscious of in their day-to-day interaction with things and the immediate surroundings. Accumulating this rich and boundless field of knowledge, the research hopes to draw upon a renewed sensibility towards living, with much excitement and freshness.
