声墟 Ruins of Voices

2015 装置,文本,视频,声音, 表演

《声墟》是Zafka在2013年开始的“日常生活炼金术:声响想像,声响写作与自我重拾”计划的第二个项目,第一个项目是在2013年展出的《寄生/声》。整个计划的核心,在于探索日常声响与自我之间关系,期待通过新的聆听和录音实践,建立个体持续的日常生活再造机制。
 
《声墟》所关注的,是今天社会化媒体网络上正在不断迅猛增长的草根声响档案。近几年智能手机和移动互联网的发展,给了普通人探索和使用声音媒介,不断塑造自我的全新机会。科技所改变的日常录音,聆听和声响互动行为,也正在呈现出前所未有的私人化声响景观和新声音文化。

游荡在数字空间,艺术家聆听和收集各种在线草根声响档案,同时展开即兴声响写作,观察和记录各种声音自我,并试图深入声音自我塑造背后的肌理。艺术家尤其关注,围绕日常物件,亲密关系,角色扮演,心情叙事,情绪游戏,语言练习等,人们正在如何录制,呈现,聆听和对话多样流动的声音自我。
 
作品以声响剧场的形态呈现。声响剧场是包含装置,视频(9屏幕),文字和声音(6声道)等多媒介在内的一个黑箱剧场。艺术家试图基于正在数字空间里不断生长,流动和废弃的众多声音自我,以剧场形式生成新的听觉体验,探讨今日科技文化中,日常声响和自我塑造之间的关系。《声墟》声响剧场的特别组成部分,是艺术家参加本次展览开幕演出的现场舞台演出。

“Ruins of Voices” is the second work from Zafka’s project called “Everyday Life Alchemy: Sound Imagination, Sound Writing and Self-Revision” begun since 2013. The 1st work “Parasitic Life/Sound” was exhibited in 2013. The objective of the entire project is to constantly self-reflect, self-revise, re-imagine and rebuild the individual’s daily life world, through exploring emerging sound recording and listening new practices and rethinking on the topic of relationship between daily soundscapes and self building.

“Ruins of Voices” is interested in today’s rapidly growth of grass-roots sound recordings in the social media networks. In recent years, the development of smart phones and mobile Internet has empowered the ordinary people to create new sonic selves though exploring and using sound media in daily context. Technology has changed the behaviors of daily recordings, listening and sound interactions, and thus now is also showing an unprecedented new social media soundscape and an emerging new sound culture. Wandering in the digital space, the artist listen and collect a variety of online grassroots sound recordings, and practicing sound writing, observing various sonic selves, and digging into the mechanism of forming sonic selves. Focusing on the recordings clips about everyday objects, intimacy relationship, role-playing, daily mood narration, emotional games and language exercises, the artist is particularly interested in how people create, presentation, listen to and have dialogue with diverse and floating sonic selves.

The work is presented in the form of sound theater. Sound theater is a black-box theatre that includes installation, video, text and sound media. Based on the continually growing, floating and discarded sonic selves, the artist aim to create new forms of listening experience to discuss the relationship between daily soundscapes and sonic selves in today’s tech culture. In this exhibition, the work will end with a live sound theatre performance in the opening day.
