點狀顆粒化的聲響，遊走於密集與分解之間，在空間游離蔓延； 與聲響同步的點狀視覺，在空間中與聲響彼此衝撞，穿越身體。 －張永達 身處在充滿複製、再現的世界，人們已過度慣於相信眼前所見所聽所聞，原本是什麼似乎已不再那麼重要。生活中充斥著各種聲響：噪音、環境音、人聲等， 將這些聲音紀錄下來，做的並不是環境聲響，也不是具象音樂，而是想試驗環境聲響藉由噪音再現的可能性。

 

「Y現象」為一件系列聲響作品。「Y」為日本地名Yamaguchi（山口）的縮寫，此作品為創作者於2008年赴日本山口情報藝術中心實習時，所收集當地日常生活聲響的錄音，包含自然環境聲響、人造聲響、交通噪音、電視節目等音源。經由數位調變和重新編曲，聲音被顆粒化重新編排，切分成細小粒子，遊走於空間中，去除再現與原本的關連性和暗示性，重新建構出一個虛擬的聽覺場域，透過2011年新版本四聲道的聲音呈現和半環形的高畫質影像，觀者可在空間中感受聲音與視覺在空間中的流竄與變化。

 

延續其聲音創作的探索本質，結合對資訊世代影音滿載現象的獨特觀點，創作者融合創作中一貫的低調冷冽視覺風格，以大膽卻細膩的聲響變化與分子顆粒狀態的動態視覺，於空間場域中互相碰撞、流竄，塑造出另類的感官迴圈。 以聲音粒子為電流，抽象動態光覺為導體，在這個獨特的環型場域中震盪出一種純粹的光音波動景觀，觀者將重新體驗聲音粒子與光束流穿越身體的快感，在看見與聽見之間穿梭。

 

"Granulated sounds, sometimes concentrated, sometimes diffused spread through the space. Grainy images accompany and collide with the sounds, moving through your body." - Chang Yung-Ta Living in a world full of reproductions and representations, Chang Yung-Ta thinks people have become too accustomed to believing in the authenticity of everything they see and hear, and the original version of these images and sounds seems to be no longer important. Our everyday lives are filled with all kinds of sounds: noise, ambient sounds, people speaking and other sounds, and Chang records them all, not to create musique concrete or ambient soundscapes, but rather to experiment with ambient sounds and explore the possibilities of noise reproduction.

 

Y Phenomenon is a series of sound-art pieces. The "Y" stands for the city of Yamaguchi in Japan. While the sound artist Chang Yung-Ta was participating in an internship at the Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media, he collected the sounds of Japanese life, such as those from nature, those made by people, and traffic and television program sounds. Chang then granulated and rearranged the sounds using digital modulation techniques making each segment of sound into a tiny granule, which travels through the exhibition venue. With the new 2011 version of quadraphonic sounds and semicircular images, the viewer can experience the change in sound and visuals in space.

 

Chang Yung-Ta has consistently used a low-key, restrained visual style to extend the exploratory quality of his sound art productions and present his unique view of sound-image overload in the information age. Bold yet delicate sound variations are combined with granulated and dynamic visual elements, which drift and collide in the circular, 360 degree surrounding venue, forming an alternative sensory panorama. Using sound particles as electrical current, and the perception of abstract shifting light as a conductor, Chang creates pure landscapes of visual and aural fluctuations in this unique circular space. Viewers will enjoy the sensation of being immersed in granulated sound and light beams, which stimulate both the eyes and ears.
