Space Frog 02 - Imagination of Urban Formatted.

This one was inspired by the Taiwan Urban Renewal Regulation. Based on this law, if people who live in the Urban renewal Zone, they won’t have freedom to rebuild their own house during the renewal procedure. If they wanna re-build their own house, it must be integrated with their neighbors and become one intact and huge site to be build. The logic is a little bit like disk format and defrag-it do keep the city functional and efficient, but also wiped out all the history connections and human scaled. In the end make the city become one giant monster.

太空青蛙第二彈-關於”都市格式化”的想像。
如果說上一篇是個人美學舒發,那這一篇則是希望從實務帶來一點想像。
我覺得臺灣都市更新條例其實有點像硬碟重組/格式化: 從劃定更新單元、禁限建、計劃概要、事業計劃等等,藉此將小而零碎的空間重新整合成符合都市機能的巨大共構體;然而與此同時亦抹去了城市裡個人私密空間的可能。為了要恢復都市機能、在資本主義與區分所有所產生遊戲,是台灣人自身慾望與居住權交互產生的共業。以此為題,畫了一篇以青蛙、機械貓與未來都市為背景的短篇連環畫。
