我想像聲音如天空浮雲不斷地隨著時間推前，同時間又不斷地結合和分離，湧現和消逝，難以具體表達甚麼意義，但我享受這些過程。

聲音是無形的，在空間中空氣分子的振動，聲音不是媒體，當我們將聲音視為媒體，聲音就被記錄、傳遞、轉換，聲音以不同的面貌、方式呈現。錄製的聲音，將聲音與原本的場域抽離，透過電流和喇叭播放，聲音早已透過自身轉換而成為發聲體，另一方面，聲音也跨域不同媒體相互結合。

 

聲音本身作為一個媒體，不管是自我發展、觸發另一媒體或異質交融，它來自時間、空間進展的過程，無論聲音是主體或客體，我們從進展的過程中去發掘聲音的各種可能性。「聲態」主要呈現一連串聲音實驗過程的狀態，從聲音自主的發聲裝置，及其衍生的電子噪音樂器，運用聲音頻率來探覺影像的可能性，透過光與物理振動的聲響空間，視覺與聽覺的異質性。試著以一個開放的態度，單純且當下直覺，運用非傳統制式想法，探究聲音未知的可能性。

 

"錯誤"提醒我們科技的掌控是一種幻想，同時揭示數位工具被建造的人們視為唯一的完美，精準和高效。新的技術經常被偶然的發現，或由一個預知的技術或實驗失敗所發現。 –Kim Cascone

 

I imagine the sound that changes over time as the clouds drifting in the sky, merging and separating, appearing and disappearing. It shows hardly concrete meanings. However, I enjoy the whole process of imagination.

Sound is invisible. It is not a medium but a vibration through a medium such as air or water. However, if we regard sound as a medium, we can therefore record, transmit, transform, and present it in different forms and ways. Recorded sound is detached from the place where it was produced. The sound per se is then transformed into a sound object through the electrical currents and the set of speakers. In addition, the sound is combined with other media in an interdisciplinary manner.

As a medium, whether self-developed, catalytic, or heterogeneously blended, sound evolves with the changes of time and space. A subject or an object, whatever sound may be, the artist tries to find the possibilities for sound from its evolution. The State of Sound seeks to present the state of a series of sound experiments ranging from the automatic sound devices to the derivative electronic instruments. The exhibition also explores the possibility for images through audio frequency, the sound space created by light and physical vibration, and the heterogeneity between auditory and visual senses. Adopting an intuitive, open-minded attitude, the artist tries to explore unknown possibilities for sound with his unconventional ideas.

 

“[F]ailure”… remind[s] us that our control of technology is an illusion, and reveal[s] digital tools to be only as perfect, precise, and efficient as the humans who build them. New techniques are often discovered by accident or by the failure of an intended technique or experiment.
