52 HERTZ - THE LONELY WHALE

illustration

一部關於寂寞的繪本創作,繪本全文如下

---

52赫茲是一具被製造來進行鯨魚觀測的機器人,

外型與功能也仿造成鯨魚的模樣。

它能像鯨魚一樣,在冰層下游泳,

它能像鯨魚一樣,在極圈的海天之間跳舞,

它也能像鯨魚一樣,

吐出自己的氣息並看著它在空中凝結消散,

但它永遠無法,無法像鯨魚一樣唱歌。

 

它發出的聲音頻率是52赫茲,

高於其他真正的鯨魚溝通的頻率,

代表沒有鯨魚聽得見它的聲音,

即使它能和他們一起游泳、跳舞、呼吸,

彼此之間卻沒有溝通的可能。

 

觀察,觀測,考察。
 

它為此而生,

它只能做這件事,

也只能做到這件事...

A story about lonely

---
52 Hertz is a robot, created for whale observing.

So there’s no surprise that it designed as a whale outfit.

 

It can swim like a whale, beneath the iceberg;

It can dance like a whale, between the water and wind of the north sea;

It also breath like real whales do, exhale and let the expiration freeze above in the air.

But one thing, it can never reach.

It couldn’t sing like a whale.

 

The frequency of its voice is 52 hertz, just like it’s name, are different from the true whale.

Means other whales will never hear his voice.

Even swim with them, dance with them, breath with them, they won’t understand it’s word ever and forever.

Observing.

Observing.

Observing.

That’s why it made for.

That’s what it can do. What it allowed to do.
