Introduction

在蔚蓝广阔海洋里,有一头名为Alice的鲸鱼曾被认为是世界上最孤独的鲸鱼,不仅仅是因为它在被发现时离应在的海域相距半个地球,而是它鸣唱时的声音频率是52Hz,远远高于普通鲸鱼发出声音的15-25Hz。

Alice的歌唱,虽不能传达给同类也无法被解读,但声波讯号表示了Alice的存在。我们听见风的谱奏却也无法抓住这一声音的轨迹,而树叶的摇摆却像乐章五线谱一样记录着风的动作痕迹。虫鸣、鸟啼、流水、落叶、花开,世界上的万物,以自己的频率发出声波,谱奏韵律。人声鼎沸、车水马龙,人类与万物共存,我们的行为所产生的不同声音交织在一起形成视觉之外的另一“画面”。

靠介质传播的声音,介于物与形之中,使之生于万物之动作,又穿梭于世间之缝隙。无法触碰、无法捕捉,却无处不在;它流淌、环绕、充斥在空气里,当我们闭上双眼,仍能靠听觉捕捉到多种信息来感知周遭的环境。声音的产生,代表着背后存在的人、事、物,无论是在实体还是意识层面,声音都与情景交融,展现出一个或多个过程。

相互作用和贯穿的感官神经,让“抽象”的声音成为记忆、感受、情绪的画笔,具有即时反馈性的在被听到的同时唤醒我们的感知和想象,在脑海里描绘出空间和画面。听到声音,即是融入一个声音产生的背景故事中,进而再主观地对情景产生诠释和解读;发声和聆听,即是创造的过程。

本次艺术驻留,P8星球与关注践行建筑可持续发展的远大芯建共同举办,希望发现这些“隐形的声音”和背后的观点与故事,从另一感官出发与世界产生联系,用调动情绪唤醒的方式来呈现环境。我们期待这次艺术驻留能让使用声音作为艺术实践的对象和材料的艺术家们进行交流、在地发声,并创作和展示出具有实验性、互动性、感染性的艺术作品。


Introduction

In the immense solitude of the ocean, a whale called Alice was once thought to be the loneliest whale in the world. Not following the usual baleen whale migratory channels, Alice was found in the sea nearly half a world away from the usual pathway. While others of her kind communicate between 12 and 25Hz, Alice sings at 51.75Hz.

Insects chirp, birds cry, water flows, leaves fall, flowers bloom - everything in the world emits sound waves at its frequency, producing a variety of sounds that intertwine to form a 'picture' other than the visual. As a part of the ecological environment, human behavior also produces different sounds. Sound flows, surrounds, and fills the air, and when we close our eyes, we can still hear the many messages we capture to perceive our surroundings.

Transmitted through a medium, sounds lie between objects and forms, so that it is born in the movement of everything and shuttles through the gaps of the world. It cannot be touched, it cannot be captured, but it is everywhere. it flows, it caresses, it fills the air, and when we close our eyes, we can still hear and capture a variety of information to perceive the environment around us. Sounds, representing the complex contexts, intertwined with circumstance and reveals.

Acting on the sensory nerves, sound becomes a paintbrush for memories, feelings and emotions. It is fed back into our brains instantaneously, simultaneously awakening our perceptions and imaginations, portraying spaces and scenes in our minds. Hearing sound is being involved in the backstory of it and then subjectively interpret the situation. To vocalize and listen is a process of creation.

Co-organized by Planet P8 and Holon, this residency program aims to discover these 'invisible sounds', to connect with the world through another sense, and to present the environment in a way that mobilizes emotional arousal. We expect this program for artists who use sound as an object and material for their artistic practice to communicate, give voice to the ground, to create, experiment and interact.
