每年跨年前夕的台北城，車與車，人與人，前往101擠進好位子等待炸城般的煙火秀，已經成為年年上演的定幕劇，人們如宗教狂熱般，伴隨著塞車、採買、煙火的高度刺激，在節慶之時，半強迫的團聚、約會、餐敘…劇碼一一呈現。

爆炸爆炸101以感應裝置啓動夜空中的101與台北城，呈現101金融權力中心與每年煙火短暫的絢爛，所建構出如泡沫般奇幻虛假的幸福感，不斷擴散炸開的LED煙火，正如荒誕的經濟奇蹟，在都會的夜空，一閃即逝。

 

The New Year’s Eve in the Taipei City is an annual repertory theater, when cars and crowds flood in around the landmark Taipei 101 for the year-end fireworks show. During what is similar to a religious frenzy, traffic is jammed, people part with hard-earned money in buying spree, and the fireworks serve as the greatest stimulus for these all. At such a festive time, people are forced, at least partially, into gatherings, dates and dinners, all of which scenes from a grand, metropolitan theater.

In Exploding 101, a sensor is used to light up Taipei 101 and the City of Taipei against the night, showing the skyscraper as a center of financial power and the transient dazzle of the fireworks. They structure a bubble-ish perception of happiness, magical and yet hollow. The LED lighting that mimics the fireworks explodes and expands, as if the absurd economic miracle the island celebrates, and then quickly vanishes into the metropolitan night sky.
