「幸福晚餐系列」是件藝術實驗創作，運用Max/MSP/Jitter程式與Sobel運算，並結合影像、聲音、MIDI音樂之間的互動。在短片中，我記錄著回宿舍時，沿途期盼老婆準備的晚餐，那種幸福滿滿的感覺。本作品以老婆準備晚餐的聲音作為輸入控制源，同時邊緣偵測扮演了重要角色。它隨機並且巧妙地勾勒出沿途景緻的輪廓，並且將物體色彩做了不斷的置換，因而產生一種奇幻的效果。由烹調聲音控制而產生的音樂，一樣有種在搖晃視覺裏充滿期盼的感受。於是，我對於幸福晚餐的期待，紛紛化成了音符；眼前的畫面，也都因此有了節奏。

This artwork “The Felicitous Dinner Series” is created by using Max/MSP/Jitter and Sobel operations, and based onthe interaction among images, sounds, and MIDI music. This work is created through the following steps: decibeltransformation, tracing of the peak sound, automatic event detection, usage of sound event message, edge detection,generating MIDI music via sound signals, controlling the image processing via sound signals, automatic change of RGBbrightness, and so on. In this video work, the author recorded the felicitous feeling of the expectation on the dinnerprepared by his wife when he was on the road toward his dormitory. In this work, the author inputted the sound gatheredwhen his wife was busy in the kitchen, and then the program automatically generated some MIDI music, and changedthe image of the video so that it got some tempo. Therefore, the expectation on the felicitous dinner became some musicnotes, and all the sights became rhythmic.
