消 弭 Eliminate

“消弭”在汉语词汇中,原本指清除、消除某些不好的事情,语出《后汉书·文苑传下·赵壹》:“以贵下贱, 握发垂接,高可敷翫坟典,起发圣意,下则抗论当世,消弭时灾。”

"Eliminate" in the Chinese vocabulary, originally refers to the removal and elimination of some bad things, the language of the book of the later Han Dynasty · Wenyuan handed down · Zhao Yi: "to be cheap, hold the hair hanging, high can be applied to the tomb book, the holy will, the next is to fight against the current world, eliminate the disaster."



空间内呈现三件没有固定名称的作品,它们既相互独立又彼此呼应,构成一种整体且安静的力 与场,它们在这样足够“安全”的声音空间中被“顺从”地以有声或无声的形式进行展示。在空间中央的枪 型指向观鸟器试图以更加“隐蔽”的方式来向观众传递在当下某些时刻中消极的、不被主动听见的声音,对 空间附近的另外两件影像在视觉与听觉语言上的混搭、分离与错位进行了某些必要的补充,也是艺术家在近 期艺术实践中对生活与社会事件的一次消极式的、自我反省式的思考。

This exhibition will present three works without fixed names in the space, they are independent and echo each other, constitute a whole and quiet force and field, they are "obedient" in such a "safe" sound space in the form of sound or silent display. The gun-shaped bird watcher in the center of the space tries to convey to the audience in a more "hidden" way the negative and not actively heard sounds in some moments of the present, which makes some necessary supplement to the mixing, separation and dislocation of the other two images near the space in visual and auditory language. It is also a negative and self-reflective reflection on life and social events in the artist's recent art practice.

在此次<消弭 Eliminate>个人项目中,艺术家打造了一个近乎完美的、几乎不受任何多余声音干扰的“录 音室”:整块空间均采用音乐工程上处理空间和声学关系的吸音棉打造而成,建立了一个看似(听似)“矛盾”的空间,即一个对任何可以发声、能够发声的物体都不太“友好”的空间。在传统声学空间设计 中,包裹四周的吸音棉不仅旨在吸收多余声音干扰,更起到集中、聚集主要发声体的作用,并在一定程度 上隔绝、消除某些不好的声音。
 
In this Eliminate project, the artist has created a nearly perfect, almost without any excess noise interference "studio" : the whole space adopts music engineering on the treatment of space and the relationship between acoustic sound-absorbing cotton make and become, established a seemingly (sound) "contradiction" of space, that is, a of any object can speak, can speak less "friendly" space. In the traditional acoustic space design, the sound absorbing cotton wrapped around is not only designed to absorb the excess sound interference, but also to concentrate and gather the main sound body, and to isolate and eliminate some bad sounds to a certain extent.

Reverse-Vibration





On reverse-vibration, a microphone, a spring container placed in a steel box, a mixing table and a speaker box form a self-repeating field of sound that is independent and integrated inside and outside: Spring in a tin box send sound signal through a weak current movement, the mixer output to the placed in it at the bottom of a pair of speakers, by sound signal circuit and makes the speaker sends out a steady magnetic field effect of low frequency signal, and at the top are fixed in the mechanical pendulum device microphone, as the movement regularity of/static, constantly to pick up the signal, The whole work is broken up, separated and recombined to form a spontaneous, episodic and loop-like sound field. Even because of the appearance of the surrounding environment or human voice, the sound signals that disturb and destroy the original stability are different from the environment and space we are accustomed to at present due to the virus. The intermittent isolation, shutdown and social isolation caused by the epidemic have formed a special "response", and the social reality in the post-epidemic era has morphed into a lingering song and reverberation in our hearts.

How To Make Them Stop

How to make them stop is an interactive sound device. A number of speakers composed of wooden boards are detected by external sound, that is, The audience can use any sound of their own to trigger The speakers and hear applause.

In the contemporary society, applause, as an artificially formed voice, has been in the hearts of people unanimously representing the appreciation, approval, acquiescence to a certain power and response to a certain political discourse. It is no longer a simple individual voice, but reflects the consciousness of the group. In the high-decibel, passionate, identical, overwhelming sound wall, it is the politician who gets the public opinion, it is the accuracy of democracy. In solzhenitsyn's book gulag archipelago, applause is described as a symbol and worship of authority. How should we stop applauding? Is it a right of human expression or a blind belief in some kind of power?

30°24'59.6"N, 114°25'20.9"E

"30°24'59.6"N, 114°25'20.9"E" is a Sound Installation, using a variety of road signs and protection, safety signs, blockages and other ready-made objects in traffic and road safety commonly used in combination with sound playing objects.




The whole piece of work by different barricades and security identity, traffic signs, etc, to form an almost closed space, and ignore the rules of the road traffic safety, the artist to be relocated and arrangement, form a chaotic, disorder of space, but walked in the audience or passing but can hear many voices, played back through the hidden speakers or headphones. These barricades and stop signs in the modern society represents a strict enforcement of rules, a command under the rules and regulations, as the sealing area during cold traffic control, through reset or even adapted its slogan or graphic artist hopes to cold and harsh symbols in the language of art was dispelled, buffer system rules in the contemporary society in the context of discomfort. At the same time, the sounds left during the lockdown became part of the force majeure event, a clash of sounds behind the signs in a highly refined event.

The Sonic Stone Road

"Stone Road Southbound" is a sound installation, which records the field recording in Shilu Street and the journey to Shuangta Market by bus in December, as well as the local culture of Suzhou in Shuangta Market. From the sound landscape of these three places, the work expresses and reminds people of those neglected, marginalized and almost forgotten voices. The work uses the principle and form of magnetic tape rotation to form a progressive relationship between sound in space and vision. As a traditional medium for storing sound, the continuous circular movement of magnetic tape on the traditional instruments representing Suzhou reflects a leap of connection with the city in time and space. Through the sound and soundscape of suzhou, which are around people, in the corner or even almost forgotten, the tape and sound are transformed into suzhou code, which is a visual symbol with historical significance. In the slow tape movement, the
audience will be left with infinite reverie and yearning for the sound memory of Suzhou in the past and after time deposition.
