Month: December 2016

My aesthetic practice is centered around the theme of romanticism – emphasizing the appreciation of nature, the importances of individual imagination and seeking for inspiration. The World for today is becoming more modernized, we are living in a modernized city that the big buildings surrounded us have shadowed our vision and started to disconnect our feeling and inspiration from nature. My work is an attempt to bridge the people’s feeling and nature, address the disconnection between people and the physical elements, including plants, animals, landscape and weather, that nature has provided for us.  

Being a media maker is the best way to carry out all of the ideas and put into practice; the combination of the work among moving images, animation and sounds provide a rich environment and a vivid visual effect to explore the connection between human and nature. I believe that inspiration from nature is the purest source of an idea. A journey in seeking for inspiration from nature is never an ending road, it is more important that the moments of the journey that senses and engages you both emotional and inspirational.

 

 

Electronic Panorama: Paris, Tokyo, Utrecht, Warszawa (1970)

Electronic Panorama is a noise-sound that consists of strange, dissonant amalgams and limpid purity of sound as defined in the book; the mix of different natural noises of dropping water, jingles, whistle and cricket sound. This sound art caught my attention because it offers the pure sound of nature. Although they are the electronic sounds created by machines, but it brings me to an environment of a deep forest inside a wooden house surrounded by nature, where the noises of the city are totally gone. Moreover, the increasing sound volume at the end created a pitch that reinforces the vibration and excitement from the noise.

Our human sensibilities need noise-sound; without the noise-sound, it can create a void(a space of emptiness), discomfort, and fear within us.  And the sound that we are not familiar with can also cause fear because noise-sound has the effect of creating an imagination in our brain and trying to distinguish what that noise is made out of or coming from. Therefore, I believe a creative sound art has the power of exploring human imagination.
