[ + - * / ] 王仲堃 – 聲音裝置個展
關於本展
年輕一代的聲音創作者王仲堃，專注於聲音與動力裝置的創作結合，並秉持著一種接近宗教禁慾般的執著，他的每一項裝置總是令人同時有著迂迴與簡單的感覺，但簡單的聲音卻又必須通過複雜（且身體感極強）的迴路才能轉化出其意義；這種弔詭同樣出現在進行現場表演的他，沉靜的身體面對複雜的裝置，然後轉化出他身體的聲音。
王仲堃從研究所開始，發展多元的創作面向，透過現場表演，演變至多種樣貌的裝置型態、樂器的製造等等。此次展覽名稱為 [ + - * / ] （加減乘除），使用電腦數位運算中的數學符號作為展名—即欲表示在作品古典機械科技中，數位的媒介悄悄潛植於機心的內在，讓原本僅只反覆的重複能夠擁有更大的可能性，隨機取樣卻又不受其狂亂無常的擺佈。
作品的概念來自於一種對於聲音的記錄，藉由機械的運轉在空間中懸掛著時間軸一般不斷變化實體的音符，將原本如記譜一般的記錄形態轉化成一種「聲音的風景」。展覽期間亦藉由此裝置不斷產生的樂譜，安排了兩場聲音裝置的現場即興演出。
[ + - * / ] Chung-Kun Wang Solo Exhibition: Sound Installation
About the Exhibition
Sound creator of the new generation Chung-Kun Wang concentrates on creative combination of sound and power installation, who upholds a dedication of almost like religious asceticism. Each of his installation contains a concurrently indirect and simple sense; yet this simple sound can only transform its significance through a complex (and with strong body sense) loop; such paradox also occurs on him in live performance, whose silent body faces with complex installation and transforms into voice inside the body.
Chung-Kun Wang has developed multiple creative orientations since graduate school, whose works have evolved into installation types and manufacturing of musical instruments with multiple appearances through live performance. The title of this exhibition [ + - * / ] (Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) employs the mathematical signs in digital computer operations, implying digital media has been quietly planted on the intrinsic core in his work of classical machinery technology, which expands more possibility from continuous repetition to random sampling without the manipulation of frenzy impermanence.
The concept of his work comes from a record of sound, which transforms the notation-like record type into a “soundscape” through machinery operation in space, hanging with constantly-changing physical music notes similar to time line. Notations will be continuously generated through this installation during the exhibition term. Two live-performance of sound installation will also be scheduled.
