Taipei-Topia
Taipei-Topia responds to the accelerated, data-driven rhythms of contemporary life in which images appear and vanish in real time. Rather than reconstructing Taipei, the project generates unfamiliar yet eerily recognizable cityscapes built from machine-learned patterns. The work explores “nowhere”—an algorithmic condition shaped by spatial dislocation, fragmented memory, and the hyper-speed visuality described by Virilio. By transforming street-level datasets into non-existent urban forms, the project reflects how digital systems reshape the psychological experience of place, producing environments that feel both intimate and unlocatable.
