「從音符的藝術到聲音的藝術，從聲音的藝術到噪音的藝術，再從後者轉變到生活與機器之間的無界與無名的呢喃。」--- 賈克‧洪席耶（Jacques Rancière）

「雲端下的聲林」主要是透過聲音的創作，來傳達當下生活狀態與運算機器間的密切關係；這呼應人類早在遠古時代，便會透過敲擊所發出的聲音高低與大小，來對模仿自然界的聲音，並作為社會生活人與人之間的傳達。在數位資訊的當代，我們以0與1的形式來處理與傳遞電腦訊息；以透過大量光點的明、暗，使我們感知圖像訊息。而這最小單位（0與1，或明與暗）的構成與流動，也令人重新思考「聲音」創作的本質。「聲音」的組織與構成，可以回到一個以點狀聲音的創作狀態。若說具象音樂是由百萬音符所組成，此次展覽的聲音創作，則是由無數單位的點狀聲音、所形成大小分明的聲音層次。大量隨機的點狀聲音，無實體地透過空氣的振動，它像是我們在這時代意識感知與機器運算的流動，聽似如同在森林有無數聲點的互相流竄衍生。

 

以展出作品《聲泡》為例，是由透過喇叭與麥克風的聲音迴授，再經由單晶片微處理器來控制迴授的音量。透過隨機亂數以控制聲音的大小與中斷的頻率，產生如大自然昆蟲生物的發聲質。《聲點》則是由數百個喇叭所構成的作品，每個喇叭經由晶片運算而產生不同的音頻，有如數百個頻道的聲響在空間中迴盪。整個展覽其中一個作品透過聲音的分解開展成點狀聲音，另一作品則透過數百如點的發聲體，大量高速、亂數控制的聲音點之流射，使欣賞者進入超驗的意識流動狀態。

The shift from an art of notes to an art of sounds, from the art of
sound to the art of noises and from the latter to the boundless and
anonymous murmur of life and /or machines.--- Jacques Rancière

Through the sound work, Sound Forest Under the Cloud delivers the message that addresses the relationship of contemporary life and computing machines. Through the tapping and hammering, our ancestors mimic the sound of the nature and using the rhythm as a way of communication. Now in the information technology era, we use 0 and 1 to deal with and to transmit all the data. Through switching light on and off, we sense the image and receive the message. The omposition
of 0 and 1 transforms the way of sound creation, that sound is composed by switching sound on and off. As the concrete music is composed by millions of notes, in this exhibition Sound Forest Under the Cloud the sound work is created by different volume of sound layers which randomly composed of countless sound dots. The vibration in the air transmitting flow of our sense in this technology era, it sounds like the wind blow through the woods.

One of the artwork “Sound Bulb” is based on the feedback of speaker and microphone, the volume and the sound breaking up controlled randomly by the microcontrollers, creates the sound like the insects’ sound. “Sound Dot” is composed by hundreds of speakers with different rhythm from each speaker. Overall in this project you can hear a variety of sound creation, include one work is through the decomposition of sound into millions of sound dots, the other is composed millions of different volume and rhythm of sound dots into sound flowing, which transmitting into our sub-consciousness.
