Siedl / Cao 雙人組合:日常連結

日常連結

時間:2018.10.05(五)7:30 -9 pm
地點:台北當代藝術中心

〈日常連結〉反映存在與行為、人與機器之間、可見與不可見、形式化以及自然、有意和無意表演之間的二元對立,同時是直接的,也是間接的。

〈日常連結〉也是對聲音藝術、音樂和實驗劇場界面的研究。這種場域特定的作品與其他的行為表演或裝置的不同之處在於 — 安裝裝置的過程本身就是一場行為表演,換句話說,行為表演也是稍縱即逝的聲音裝置內部的一部分。

一系列連接器(nexus)的能量轉換機制及人造現成物在表演中扮演著重要的角色。舉例來說,光的變化產生伺服馬達驅動機的運動,進而產生電子原音,反之亦然。這兩位藝術家相信的哲學乃是物是在過程中被找到而非目標本身。因此,他們的重點是構建,觸發,轉換和翻譯的過程,由一種形式的能量或信號到另一種形式。

這是一個由2個表演者,傳感器,馬達,燈,模組化合成器,物件和midi演算法交互作用的跨領域作品。

持續時間:45分鐘

The Usual Nexus

Time:2018.10.05 Fri. 7:30 -9 pm
Venue:Taipei Contemporary Art Center

The Usual Nexus reflects on the dualities between being and doing, between human and machine, the visible and the invisible, being stylized and being natural, intentional and unintentional performance, being direct and indirect.

The Usual Nexus is a research on the interface between sound art, music and experimental theatre. This site-specific work is different from other performances and installations in the way that the process of installing the artwork is the performance itself, in other words, the performance is an integral part of the transient sound installation.

The mechanism of energy transformation through a series of connectors (nexus) and its occurring artefacts plays an important role in the work, e.g. changes of light create movements of a servo motor and in turn creates electro-acoustic sounds, and vice versa. The two artists believe in the philosophy that things are found in the process rather than at the target itself. Therefore their focus is on the process of constructing, triggering, transforming and translating one form of energy or signal to the other.

Transdisciplinary work for 2 performers, sensors, motors, lights, modular synthesizer, objects and midi algorithm.

Duration: 45 minutes
