POP! POP! POP! 流行音樂互動展
由朗敘Brightext策展的高雄流行音樂中心首檔常設展「POP! POP! POP! 流行音樂互動展」，取流行音樂英文「POP」的雙關語，呼應靈感迸發的新奇一瞬。 一樓展區為流行音樂產業綜論，貫徹 「全民策展」的理念，集結公眾投稿，為流行音樂書寫開放性定義；二樓展區以「南方在地」為題，除搜羅民眾的在地關鍵字，打造互動聲音裝置，也聚焦高雄音樂人、事、物，呈現在地新音樂史。
流動的音樂能量
對應穿梭在兩層樓高挑空間中的白色梁柱，我們以黑色作為主要視覺基調連結兩層樓公共空間與展示空間。展場入口裝置作品「Beating」，透過觀眾雙手探索於巨大黑色鏡面，自由調控由電音藝術家Fish.the創作音樂的同時，鏡面中央黝黑的磁流液體也隨之波動，幻變為各種抽象形體，象徵流行音樂不可預知的動態能量。
全民策展 Co-curation
整體策展強調「全民策展」的概念，以及線上、線下的互動體驗。每單元設計相對應的導覽聲音內容。展覽引領觀眾自後台出發，走入用舞台鷹架搭建的光廊，耳機內傳來演唱會後台工作的環境音。在一樓空間中不同色彩的光盒子，代表了彼此鏈結的音樂場景：錄音室、混音室、唱片行⋯⋯，觀眾可透過耳機聆聽每個場景內音樂人的工作甘苦談。在MV拍攝現場中，更可以直接走進綠幕實際拍攝一段專屬於你的MV，並透過QRcode掃描下載影片。「發聲物誌」展區則透過展品徵集方式，呈現了音樂撥放媒介的流行史，包含早期的留聲機、蟲膠唱片，曾經風靡一時的CD、MD隨身聽等。在「好歌共鳴」展區中，我們以歌為索引，陳列民眾儲存於歌裡的私密故事，如同一座記憶圖書館，觀眾的投稿成為有機的養分，持續影響著展覽的呈現。
南方在地 Locality of the sound
位於一樓「樂音流域」展區，為一座高達十公尺的巨型圓形投影幕，投影中不斷互動、聚斂、交疊的南台灣聲音風景，來自二樓「美麗島旋律」展區觀眾的互動參數。朗敘Brightext策展團隊走訪南方城市、村鎮，蒐集居民對於南方音樂想像的關鍵字，並將之轉化為由這些關鍵字組成的多媒體混音裝置，觀眾們在此可混調出自己心中的南方之歌，並將之傳送於一樓「樂音流域」展區，組構出由眾人共同創造，一幀幀隨時間不斷變化的魔幻南國音像。
行動的痕跡
「POP! POP! POP! 流行音樂互動展」七個主題展區以公共參與概念，匯集當地居民南方意識，編輯南方音樂紋理，並保留觀眾在展覽中留下的行動痕跡，以文字、影像、聲音的形式，成為策展內容的一部分，使的展覽更具有機性，亦反映流行音樂與社會群體、當代文化之間的緊密關聯。

POP! POP! POP! An Interactive Journey
Curated by Brightext as the first exhibition to be presented by Kaohsiung Music Center, “POP! POP! POP! An Interactive Journey” is named after the phenomenon when inspirations or creative epiphanies “Pop” into our minds. The first floor of the exhibition is an overview of the pop music industry in Taiwan while following the concept of “public curation”, giving visitors a chance to voice their thoughts on what pop music is.
The “Sounds of the South” section of the exhibit’s second floor focuses on the musical and cultural lineage of Taiwan’s southern region. Aside from including keywords in interactive sound installations representative of southern Taiwan as chosen by visitors, this area also provides an in-depth look at the culturally significant individuals and incidents in Kaohsiung’s music history.
The flowing energy of Music
In response to the white beams and columns that shuttle through the high-rise space of the two floors, we chose black as the main color that connects the public space of the building and the exhibition space of the two floors. The installation titled "Beating" at the entrance to the exhibition hall lets visitors interact with a huge black mirror with their hands, freely mixing and matching audio clips created by electronic music artist Fish.the; the dark magnetic liquid in the center of the mirror also fluctuates and transforms into various abstract forms according to the input and interactions of visitors, symbolizing the unpredictable and dynamic energy of pop music.
Co-curation
Co-curation was a core concept we wished to incorporate into this exhibition since we felt that an interactive discourse, both in-person and online, would help further elevate the interactive experience. Each section of was also curated and designed with corresponding sound and audio elements. The different colored boxes on the first floor represent the backstage and production aspects of music scenes, such as recording studios, audio engineering rooms, and record stores. The audience can listen to the dedicated audio content, such as interviews with industry veterans, in each section through headphones. A music video production section also allows visitors to become their own stars in front of a green screen, which is available for download just a QR code scan with their phone away. In the “Items of Sound” section, visitors are given a chance to examine and learn about the various formats used to record and distribute music since the dawn of the record industry. These include early phonographs, shellac and vinyl records, and players, to the more recent formats such as portable CD and MD players. In “The Story of Pop” section, visitors are invited to share their personal stories of specific pop songs, which the exhibit collects and catalogs into a library of memories. With the organic input of the audience, the exhibit continually gains nutrition, further expands and evolves.
Locality of the sound
Located on the first floor, the exhibit “A Stream of Teleportation” incorporates a ten-meter-tall circular projection, with various soundscapes of southern Taiwan interacting, converging, and overlapping with each other, which is based on input given to the “A Melody of Our Island” on the second floor. The Brightext curation team visited cities, towns, and villages in southern Taiwan to collect keywords and phrases from residents that became the building blocks of the multimedia mixing installations. Visitors can also use these mixed media elements to create their version of a soundscape of southern Taiwan, with these creations finally converging and becoming a magical representation of a collective project from participants.
Traces of Action
“POP! POP! POP! An Interactive Journey” incorporates the concept of public participation across all seven of its exhibition sections. Building upon the collective consciousness of residents of southern Taiwan, visitors’ words, images, and sounds generated within the exhibition are also incorporated into the overall narrative. This exhibit reflects the mobility and close connective relationship between popular music, culture, and various social groups by mimicking these dynamics in our curational directive of public curation.
