在台灣，語言不只是溝通的工具，更是一場微妙心理戰。

臺灣人習慣用「下次聯絡」來帶過不確定的邀約，表面看似簡單，卻藏著其他涵義。
聽得懂的人，心領神會；聽不懂的人，霧裡看花。這些話的背後，也藏著台灣文化中獨特的含蓄與婉轉。

透過幽默、有趣的動態海報與互動設計，讓這些隱藏的對話變得可見、可感、可共鳴，將這些日常對話背後的「真心話」視覺化，邀請每一位觀者，一起破解台灣人的語言密碼。

我們設計了三種互動體驗，讓觀者親身感受語言的弦外之音：

訊息解碼——在鍵盤輸入對某句話的理解，畫面中便會掉落「真心話訊息框」，揭露那些不說出口的真實心意。
話筒翻譯——說出的潛台詞，「告解室」會即時翻譯成直白的真心話，讓無聲的潛台詞變得一覽無遺。
點擊查看——精選台灣人最常說的含蓄話語，用動態海報的方式將語言視覺化，讓觀者透過點擊，揭開它們可能包含的真正含義。

語言不只是工具，也是文化的縮影，透過「潛臺詞」系列作品，我們試圖打破表面語言與真實想法之間的界限。

SUBTEXT

In Taiwan, language is more than just a tool for communication—it is a subtle psychological game.

Taiwanese often use phrases like “Let’s keep in touch next time” to brush off uncertain invitations. These words may seem simple on the surface, but they carry hidden meanings.

Those who understand will catch the unspoken message, while those who don’t remain in the dark. Behind these phrases lies the unique nuance and indirectness deeply embedded in Taiwanese culture.

Through humorous and engaging dynamic posters and interactive designs, we make these hidden dialogues visible, tangible, and relatable. By visualizing the true meanings behind everyday conversations, we invite each viewer to decode the unspoken rules of Taiwanese communication.

We have designed three interactive experiences that allow participants to immerse themselves in the subtle undertones of language:

🔹 Message Decoder – Type your interpretation of a phrase, and a "true meaning" message box will drop onto the screen, revealing the unspoken thoughts behind the words.
🔹 Microphone Translator – Speak out a phrase with hidden intent, and the Confession Room will instantly translate it into its direct, unfiltered meaning, exposing the underlying subtext.
🔹 Click to Reveal – We have curated some of the most common indirect expressions used in Taiwan and transformed them into dynamic posters. With just a click, viewers can uncover the true implications behind these words.

Language is not just a tool—it is a cultural mirror.

Through the Subtext series, we aim to break the boundary between spoken words and true intentions, inviting audiences to explore the art of indirect communication in Taiwan.
