/ On the interweaving of sight and sound

/ Fangyi Liu


Later, I found that the essence of my creation was to create connections, to perceive the connection between the two through association or intuition. However, this perception also contains a fictional creative component, and it could be said that when I connected the two, I created a relationship that did not exist before, and the possibility of ambiguity, full of possibilities for imagination and interpretation. So, I enjoy collage with sound. Sound is still abstract, which is difficult to be used as a symbol of reference. If different voices are brought together, a free narrative will be formed, which has no meaning, but can trigger imagination and activate sensibility.

In the creation and exhibition rooms of the two artists in “The Place Where There Is No Darkness”, they display different strong personalities and atmospheres, so I adopt a creative strategy different from the past. My creation is more inclined to ambient music, "Ambient music must be able to accommodate multiple levels of listening attention, rather than emphasizing on one. It must be both interesting and ignorable", allowing the audience to feel freely with their visual and auditory experience. Based on this premise, from the sounds I collected and recorded, I selected materials that can be linked to the paintings and the impressions of the exhibition, and then based on the flow of the paintings, I constructed the linear change of time of the entire sound experience, to respond to the feelings given by the two artists' paintings. I hope that the sound I create can slightly increase the audience's perception of "time", "space" and "the unknown" in the exhibition room.
