CASSETTE A/B
性別是什麼？
透過訪談擁有不同性別觀點的跨性別者，聚焦於受訪者的心靈獨白，收錄並包裝「聲音」一媒介，製成多張專輯。
釐清「跨性別」的多元內涵，理解二元性別的定義能被打破，進而重新思考既有的社會框架。
What is gender?
In interviewing trans people with different points of view about gender—focusing on their internal monologues and packaging their voices into eight separate albums—we hope to explore more completely the meaning of being “trans”, to think bigger than just “the two genders”, and to break out of the bonds that society had put on us.

LYRICS BOOKS A&B
將Ray Kao的談話內容編輯成冊，分為A,B兩部，以對應卡帶A面及B面的聲音信息。
在訪談中，Ray Kao透過社會學觀測世界的方式，去啟蒙自我視察環境的種種態度；並揉合進傅柯、尼采等哲學家的思想，連結到自身所持的性別觀。

Ray Kao's talk is edited into two booklets A and B, corresponding to the audio messages of A side and B side.
In the interview, Ray Kao uses a sociological observation of the world to enlighten the attitudes of self-examination of the environment,
and incorporates the thoughts of philosophers such as Foucault and Nietzsche to link his own view of gender.

BOOK LISTS
在Ray Kao的閱讀清單中，透過親筆譜寫的導讀及私人的觀後反芻，我們得以順著造就他思想成形的長河悠游而上，去理解他獨特的世界觀。
除了異國文學及哲學經典外，亦包含許多艱澀的社理文本。
In Ray Kao's reading list, through his own hand-written guided reading and personal opinions, we have been able to understand his unique world view from the roots of the long stream that shaped his mind.
In addition to foreign literary and philosophical classics, there are also many difficult sociological texts.
「思考者終將停止思考，對真理的追求終將摧毀自己的成果，世界的條件終將阻礙一切價值之創造與實現，
最終一切或許都只是重複，只是永恆回歸，對於思考的熱情和思考者的創造力卻永不止息，
因未來終將徒勞的偉大作品替每個時代樹立了自己的典範。」
“The thinker will eventually stop thinking, the pursuit of truth will eventually destroy his achievement,
the conditions of the world will eventually prevent the creation and realization of all values,
and finally everything may be just a repetition, just a permanent return,
but the passion for thinking and the thinker's creativity will never stop,
for the future will eventually become a fruitless and great work that sets an example for each era.”
