【About the Artworks】
《沉思》
A moment of calm reflection. Immersed in nature.
The scent of flowers, hot sun warming cold brass, and a gentle breeze across exposed toes.
Can a robot sense those things?
【About the Artist】
Matt Dixon is a British illustrator working mainly in the games industry. Away from client work, he likes to make pictures of robots, a series Matt calls ‘Transmissions’ which began in 2006 and now totals over 400 paintings. The images are a way to explore feelings and emotions that might be difficult to express in other ways, with the robots often simultaneously confused and enchanted by the world around them. A state some of us might find familiar.

｜酒廠介紹｜
Caperdonich，位於 Speyside 的 Rothes 小鎮，1898 年建立，原名叫「Glen Grant No.2」——對，就是字面意思，Glen Grant 的二號廠，蓋在馬路對面。
兩廠之間甚至有一條管道直接相連輸送原酒，據說有些精明的當地人，會偷偷在管子上鑽洞自己取用😂（這條管被叫做「威士忌管」）。 <– 不知道真假（大驚
結果才開四年，1902 年威士忌市場崩盤，直接關門。
沉睡 63 年後，1965 年因為 Glen Grant 在義大利賣瘋了，需求量太大，才又重啟——這次因為法規不能再用一樣的名字，才改叫 Caperdonich，蓋爾語意思是「秘密之井」。
酒廠現代化之後厲害到只需要兩個人就能跑整個蒸餾流程。
但 2001 年 Pernod Ricard 買下來，隔年就關閉了。2011 年整座廠直接拆掉，蒸餾器賣到比利時跟英國其他新廠繼續用。
風格上，Caperdonich 算是 清爽、花香、帶梨子甜感，比 Glen Grant 稍微果味更豐富一點。
