人造關係-開箱:傳播科技特展　箱盒開啟！

現今，傳遞訊息可以隨時隨地，傳播科技早已無所不在。國立科學工藝博物館收羅有關傳播科技藏品約有5萬件，是國內難得在聲音、印刷、影視、電信四大類別都有典藏物件的博物館，因此，特推出「人造關係-開箱:傳播科技特展」，與收藏家林本博、Sony Taiwan、公視台語台、義守大學大眾傳播學系、中華電信、台灣基督長老教會、國立臺南藝術大學音像藝術媒體中心合作，展出逾百件、橫跨超過1世紀的傳播科技文物，透過跨時代新舊文物的展示，使各年齡層、不同世代的觀眾都能在特展中找到屬於自己的共鳴與感動。

傳達情感　線上線下虛實整合玩劇場解謎
「在時間長河中，有人找你，請立即回覆！」特展在融入場景的實體展之外，另設計了「線上劇場版」，以人物對話、實境解謎的手法，讓觀眾參與一對戀人穿越時空的愛情故事。除了尋找謎題線索之外，觀眾加入遊戲就像是真的和故事裡的角色對話一樣，還有結局彩蛋等著你發現這對戀人的愛情秘密！展場版與劇場版兩個版本讓觀眾時而在真實展場，時而在架空的劇場故事中穿梭，不論是哪一種版本，觀眾都可以在故事中找到適合傳遞訊息的媒介，建構關係，傳達情感、思想，重新描繪每個人心中「愛」的輪廓。

傳遞文化　以《詩經》訴說人際傳播的語境
傳播學者施拉姆（Schramm, 1981)有個著名的「最後7分鐘」觀點：如果把人類的傳播史看作一天，那麼，重大的傳播科技發展都是在這一天的最後7分鐘才密集且快速產生的。人們總是眩惑於科技的神奇，卻經常忘記歷史的悠遠，為此，科工館策展團隊特別揀取傳唱3000多年的《詩經》詞句，作為各展區的標題，從「在水一方」的追尋直至「與子偕老」的信任，隱喻人與人之間關係情感的發展脈絡，並特別邀請藝術家打造「時間的長河」大型裝置藝術品，是科學工藝融合文學藝術的嶄新體驗。

產官學合作　新舊文物的衝突與融合精彩可期
本次特展合作單位眾多，展出物件豐富多元，包含臺灣第一台活字版印刷機、世界最小的口袋型留聲機、全球第一代Sony Walkman®隨身聽、超過兩尺高的電影放映機、蘋果第一台暢銷個人電腦Apple II等。博物館館藏給人的感覺多是老舊的刻板印象，為能吸引年輕觀眾的目光，別出心裁營造衝突感，展場空間的視覺風格以明亮穿透、繽紛多彩為取向，輔以好拍好玩的鏡面打卡牆、書牆、拍貼機等，讓新舊文物適當融合呈現，親子、年輕族群、甚或古物愛好者皆不容錯過。

Over 100 Artifacts Exhibited in National Science and Technology Museum >> Artificial Relationship – Unboxing: Communication Technology Special Exhibition Out of the Box!

Messages can be communicated anytime anywhere nowadays, thanks to the omnipresent communication technology. National Science and Technology Museum has collected some 50,000 exhibits relating to communication technology; it is one of the rare institutions in Taiwan that contain all four categories of collections pertaining to voice, printing, video, and telecommunication. Therefore, the “Artificial Relationship – Unboxing: Communication Technology Special Exhibition” is launched to exhibit over 100 communication technology artifacts across the century in cooperation with the collector Lin Pen-Po, Sony Taiwan, Taigi TV Station of Taiwan Public Television Service, Department of Mass Communication of I-Shou University, Chunghwa Telecom, The Presbyterian Church in Taiwan, and Multi-Media Center of Tainan National University of The Arts. By exhibiting the trans-century artifacts across the ages, the museum hopes to create resonance and moving inspiration in the audience of different generations and ages through this special exhibition.

Communication of Affection – Online/Offline Theatrical Puzzle Game in Integrated Clicks-and-Mortar Model

“Someone calling in the stream of time. Please respond now!” Apart from the physical exhibition that integrates theatrical scenes, the museum has also designed an “online theater version” to allow the audience travel through time and space, and partake in the love story of a couple through conversations and puzzle games. The audience not only has to find clues for the puzzle, they can also join the game and actually converse with the characters in the story. Let’s find out the intriguing secret code of love for this couple at the end of the story! The audience may alternate between the exhibition version and theater version of the story and roam between the physical exhibition site and the online theater. In either version, you’ll find appropriate messaging media in the story to build relationship, communicate affection and thoughts, and hence revisit your own profile of “love”.

Communication of Culture – Depicting the Context of Interpersonal Communication through the Classic of Poetry

Wilbur Schramm, the founder of communication studies, has the famous “last 7 minutes” analogy of communication: Assuming the history of human communication is done in one day, all critical development of communication technology is accomplished intensively and swiftly in the last 7 minutes. People are always fascinated by the wonders of technology, but forget the longstanding history. Therefore, the curatorial team of National Science and Technology Museum has specially picked verses from the over 3000-year-old Classic of Poetry to name the themes for various exhibition areas. The kind of trust depicted by verses like “(the girl) by the side of the stream” and “till old age we stay together” form a metaphor for the developmental context of interpersonal relationship and affection. The artist is also specially invited to make the mega installation art “The Stream of Time”. It is an unprecedented attempt to integrate science and technology with literary art.

Industry-Government-University Cooperation – The Amazing Conflict and Integration of Artifacts across the Ages

The numerous cooperating parties in this special exhibition have brought to us a wide array of diversified exhibits, including the first Albion press in Taiwan, the smallest pocket-size phonograph in the world, the first Sony Walkman® portable stereo in the world, an over 2-feet tall film projector, and Apple’s first bestselling personal computer Apple II. Museum collections have always given people a stereotypical old-fashion feeling. In order to catch the eyes of the young audience, the museum has taken a bold approach to create a sense of conflict, adopting a bright, penetrating, colorful visual style for the exhibition space, coupled with a funny mirror-surface wall for check-in photos, a wall of books, and photo sticker booths. The interesting combination of modern and antiquated artifacts is brought to the family visitors, young people, and even antique lovers. Don’t miss it!
