「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 「超傳波」是探討聲音在都市傳播狀態的一個藝術創作系列，都市充滿各種人類活動與機器運轉的聲音，不同頻率的音頻交織散布，我們四周充滿都市生產/發出的各種聲音，但也似乎無法真正聆聽/體會這些聲音。無所不在的聲音，聽見與聽不見、感知與無法感知，本展試圖深度探索不同時間/地點的音景、不同的人類活動/機械運作發出的聲響、或各類事件所產生的聲勢…，包括這些聲音當下的傳輸狀態與持續影響，而不單只是一種地景/空間的聲音。透過抽離與轉化的創作過程，聚焦於觸發我們對身處之地或生活環境的聲音知覺，並藉此呈現我們這個時代的聲音狀態。 「超傳波」展包括王福瑞的兩件聲音裝置新作。其中的《平行波》旨在呈現充斥於都市環境中但是人耳卻無法聽聞的電磁波，它與都會環境中的噪音其實是平行的兩個超大音景。本作品以台北、東京、柏林和紐約等大都市收錄來的電磁波聲音作為啟動元素，承載了不同都市電磁波音頻的八組超音波喇叭，在空間中旋轉互相掃射，發出了瀰漫人耳的另類聲響。另一件互動體驗式的聲音作品《呢喃》，藉由六組懸吊裝置和晶片控制蜂鳴器的不同演出，寓意隱形在都市環境中大量資訊的流動與傳播狀態，以及出現在生活空間中不斷發出各種提示聲響，彷彿生物呢喃的當代科技產物。 This roar is the shift from an art of notes to 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 HYPER TRANSMISSION is a series of artwork discussing the state of sound transmitting in the city. The city is full of the sounds of human activities and operation of machines at different pitches with various frequencies. We are surrounded by the sounds produced/emitted by the city. Yet we seem unable to listen to or understand them. The sounds are everywhere whether we can hear them or not, can feel them or not. The exhibition explores the soundscapes of different times and locations, the sounds resulting from varied human activities and mechanic operations, or sounds in all kinds of events. It includes the momentary transmission and influence of these sounds, and does not simply present the sounds of a single landscape or space. Through the alienation and transformation taking place in the creative process, the work develops our sensibility to the sounds in the living environment, and represents the sounds of our generation. HYPER TRANSMISSION is consisted of two new installations by Fujui Wang. Parallel Waves aims to highlight the sounds of electromagnetic radiation flooding in the city yet beyond human hearing range, which, when paralleled with noise in urban environment, are the two mega-soundscapes in the city. The electromagnetic sounds collected in Taipei, Tokyo, Berlin, New York are employed and transduced on the 8 sets of ultrasound speakers, transmitting and spinning in the room, emitting uncommon sounds overwhelming to human hearing. The other interactive installation, Murmur, includes 6 sets of hanging devices and buzzers controlled by chips. It refers to the invisible flow and transmission of flooding information in urban environment as well as all kinds of alerting sounds heard in our daily life that seem like the murmurs of contemporary technology.
