透過聆聽，世界還是我們所熟悉的模樣嗎？
跟隨聲音採集者吳燦政的腳步，穿梭於台灣的海濱、漁港、城市與山林。十餘年來，他反覆踏查台灣各地，累積逾一萬六千筆聲音紀錄，並逐點標記於聲音地圖之中。
在他的全景麥克風底下，海浪與飛機、自然與人為、車流與鳥鳴、廣播與陣雨，共同構築成一個地方的聲景，記錄著人與環境共存的痕跡，也映照出地方的生活樣貌與時代變化。 本片試圖打開人們習以為常卻經常忽略的感知方式。相對於聲音生態學家 Gordon Hempton 在《一平方英寸的寧靜》中所追尋的寂靜，《一平方公尺的喧囂》選擇回到日常之中，透過對日常的聆聽，重新思索我們究竟身處於什麼樣的聲音地景之中。
What if listening could reshape the way we perceive the world?
Following sound collector Wu Tsan-Cheng through Taiwan’s coasts, harbors, cities, and forests, the film traces more than a decade of his work documenting the island’s soundscape. Through repeated journeys across Taiwan, he has gathered over 16,000 recordings, meticulously geotagging and uploading each one to the Taiwan Sound Map.
Beneath his ambisonic microphone, waves and airplanes, birdsong and traffic, rainstorms and public broadcasts converge to form the soundscape of a place. These layered sounds bear witness to the coexistence of people and their environments, reflecting everyday life and the changing rhythms of the times.
In contrast to sound ecologist Gordon Hempton’s pursuit of silence in One Square Inch of Silence, One Square Meter of Existence returns to the ordinary, reconsidering the soundscape we inhabit through everyday listening.
