簡介
「有另一個不可見的世界，但我們每日生活其中，它是由電子設備、程式、網絡、媒體、訊息所構築，我稱它為“水晶城市”。」
用水晶命名，是因為它就像晶體般的成長，其中的各個元素，按一定的內在規律與邏輯自動的組構衍生，無盡的蔓延擴張。它是如此透明、輕盈、不可見又毫無量感，卻成像出另一個無比真實的世界。
吳季璁擅長新媒體的思維，探討關於人在影像媒體形塑出的世界中，因方式轉換而使身體喪失了本能。他說「我們對於這個世界的認識如此扁平、切片與壓縮，跟我們對影像的慣性有很大的關係。」比如打開電腦連上網路，透過各種不同界面，彷彿就能「抵達」另一個「地方」。
視覺中的真實在多媒體世代成為省思的課題！
Soul Food 餐廳以傳統歐洲美食為主，烹調材料完全使用上等橄欖油與海鹽，並使用香料來提味是餐點特色。店內每日提供新鮮的手工烘培麵包、甜點與現做多款經典義大利麵及特色小吃，讓人不只滿足飽足還有靈魂對美味的渴望。
“There’s an alternate world that we live in which is invisible. It is a world comprises of electronic devices, computer programs, networks, media, and information; one we call the Crystal City.”
The city is called crystal, because it grows like one. All the elements in the city develop individually, with an internal pattern and logic, and continue to spread towards infinity. It is transparent, lithe, invisible, and unquantifiable, and yet it projects a world of unparalleled realism.
Wu specializes in the new-media way of thinking. He explores mankind’s physical losses resulting from changed perceptions in a world shaped by visual media. “Our understanding of the world is flat, sliced and compressed. It has a lot to do with the fact that we are so used to images,” Wu says. For instance, once we’re online, we’re able to “arrive” at another “place” via different interfaces.
Soul Food Restaurant & Bar specializes in European cuisine using top-of-the-line olive oil, sea salt, and seasonings to enhance the taste of food. It offers fresh handmade breads, desserts and a variety of classic Italian dishes, catering to both body and soul.
