Sound Art +Natural Environment

Sound Art+Natural Environment
At Kwun Tong Ferry Pier, there were different pitch and frequency of sound placing in different place. The exhibition held in a special place, not only could we enjoy beautiful sea view, but also could hear comfortable wave sound which interacted with the performance and the artwork.

Matt Cook combined sound and collected objects with a difference of media to create his artwork. The idea of his artworks, which have not yet titled, were generated by his daily experience. He was sensitive to different moving object such as fan since it might create various kind of sound, especially in Hong Kong, he collected more interesting and novel things. Although we usually see a bell, a comb and the bowl in tearoom, Matt thought it was creative if interacted the sound of those ordinary things. Thus, he used the circuit to connect his collection and turned on the electron system to create the sound. At this tranquil pier, hearing the sound of simple things was comfortable and familiar.

Sound+ Dancing
Akio Suzuki, the well known pioneer of sound art, more concentrated in "quester of sound and space". His artwork not only interacted with the natural environment, but also cooperate with his partner's dancing.
The nail wood and dancing butterfly
Akio Suzuki prepare some woods and pined nails on it with different speed and force which generated various beat," Di Di Di Di".

The finished part showed different height of nail. It seemed like a sound wave. 
Hearing the approaching sound, dancer "woke up". She stretched her arms and legs. Liking a larva searched the surroundings. When the nailing sound turned down, she sought curiously. When the sound turned up, she cover herself. Eventually, she danced violently with the resounding sound. The series of action seemed the
growth of butterfly. The butterfly experience different pitch of sound, which it may interested in or annoyed at, when growing.
I appreciated interaction between the sound and the motion. It let the sound more brilliant and impressive.


The glass bottle and water dancing





First of all, Akio Suzuki collided two bottle and created the melodious sound. Then, he blowed the glass bottle and generated the low pitch of sound. The dancer responded to his action. Dancing and throwing out the water.  The water sound not only can responded, but also randomly drew out a picture on the ground.

Those performance was related to the area around the Kwun Tong Pier. I enjoyed to admire it and I am excited to walk around in order to discover different things. It is barely to appreciate the performance interacts with natural environment and can freely to discover or touch the artwork. Thus, this remarkable experience let me try to feel the sound.
