尺寸依場地
郭奕臣擅長透過現成物媒材的再製、轉換、聲響和光影效果,為展出的空間提供一種詩意的情境，在心感地圖這件作品當中,郭奕臣以台北的舊空照圖為基底，並使用回收瓶罐、縫紉機的試車布、時裝製作過程剩下的各種布邊和剩餘材料模擬各種自然或人造的環境。裝置亮點的骨董裁縫機擺放於淡水河出海口的相對位置，回收布料象徵著循環流動的河水，以逆流的方式行經台北，象徵流經不同時代的記憶。觀眾可以使用現場提供的素材，走入地圖中標誌出屬於自己的地方亮點，這個地點可能帶有屬於個人的重要回憶，也是在城市中心靈的居所，藉由觀眾的參與，共同完成這幅心感地圖。

Dimensions specific to venue
Kuo I-Chen is adept at combining sound and lighting effects with the re-creation and alteration of ready-made materials to imbue the exhibition space with a poetic conception. In the work Mind Map, Kuo I-Chen builds on a foundation of old aerial landscape photographs of Taipei and creates simulations of natural or man-made environments using reclaimed bottles and cans, sampling fabric, and various fabric scraps and waste materials from the manufacturing process. The installation’s focal point is an antique sewing machine positioned to correspond with the Tamsui River estuary, the recycled fabric symbolizes the flowing river that moves toward Taipei in counter-current, alluding to the memories that flow through different eras. Using materials provided on-site, audience members can mark a location of their own within the map; a location that carries an important personal memory, or a spiritual home within the city. This Mind Map is completed through the participation of the audience.
