The night markets of Taiwan are filled with chaos, yet it is precisely from this mess that radiates a form of vernacular energy. The alluring deconstruction of sanitation rules, privacy invasion, and survival of the fittest (or loudest) are just a few of the elements which compose this symphony of lives.

Through the kaleidoscope of vitality, a closer inspection reveals the co-habitation of a multitude of functions. The natural exchange of programs and the transfer of sight, sound, touch and space has raised the question: How do we extract the essence of A and B, such that they retain their thematic identity, and at the same time creates a mutualistic sharing of space? 

The night market is an open system, and we are the particles which flow through it. Can you imagine a regular night in the market where pedestrian flow is without hindrance, therefore increasing a maximum exchange of consumerism? Or perhaps the eating areas of the vendors have glass enclosures, allowing us to eat in peace and a sanitary environment?

From this nightly performance of congestion and the exchange of goods and senses, we see possibilities in the improvement of these micro relationships in the larger system. The x in AxB is precisely these possibilities; how do we retain who we are, yet at the same time create an improved version of ourselves?

台灣夜市充斥著渾沌，或許就是這些亂象散發著迷人的地方能量。如衛生觀念的解構、私領域的佔領、以及適者生存(最大聲者)的競爭，這些景象是構成夜市交響樂曲的部分元素。

如戴上「生命力」的透視鏡，我們可將視角拉近檢視，並發現其中藏有多種機能共生的現象。A、B空間機能自然的交融即其視覺、聲音、觸覺與空間的共享，對此提出了一問題：如何在A、B兩個內容共存互相影響的可能性下，企圖去蕪存菁，保留A、B應有的主體性，但仍鼓勵或共享彼此部分的空間？

夜市為一個開放系統，而我們則是流動於其內的粒子。你能想像在一個尋常的夜晚裡，夜市裡卻通行無阻，人們能於場域裡行走自如，藉此最大化消費行為的數量？或到了一玻璃盒子罩住的路邊攤裡，使人們身處在平靜且衛生的環境嗎？

夜市裡每晚上演的壅塞表演還有大量物質和感官的交換行為，我們能夠從這些細微的關係裡發現如何改善或影響大系統之可能。「X」在A與B之中即為這些可能性：我們如何不失去自我，並同時創造一個更好的自我版本？
