Sonic Anchor #42: see it if you can features two sound artists who are interested in the relationship of what is audible and visible. Cheuk Wing Nam brings a “program” to the stage questioning the presence and the coexisting role of the performer and instrument in a performance area. mafmadmaf combines the bits and pieces he captured from the pagoda towers in the East Asian region, and recreates the essence of the tiered towers in a live set.
聲音下寨#42:如能,視之呈獻兩位對可聽之物與可視之物之間的關聯感興趣的聲音藝術家。卓穎嵐將把「程式」帶到舞台上,並叩問表演者和樂器在表演空間中的存在和共存關係。mafmadmaf 則結合他在東亞地區捕捉「塔」的點滴,在現場表演中重新建構這些層塔的精髓。
Cheuk Wing Nam
Cheuk Wing Nam is an interdisciplinary artist who devotes to develop her artwork with new concepts of mixing sound and other media with the modern computer technology.
She graduated from her Master Degree of Visual Arts (Studio Art and Extended Media) in Hong Kong Baptist University. She is specializing herself in new media installation and sound sculpture.
卓穎嵐是本地同時從事聲音雕塑、新媒體藝術創作和程式設計的跨媒體藝術家。畢業於香港浸會大學視覺藝術碩士課程,主修藝術創作與延伸媒體。擅長新媒體藝術裝置、聲音雕塑,尤其關注從光與影、聲音與空間之間進行創作及表演。
在她的作品中,她經常試圖指出概念與文化的相同或矛盾之處。解構和組合是我製作作品時經常使用的手法。對象不單止是物料,也可以是一種概念、一種系統或是一種現象。
作品總是有幽默詼諧的特質,拒絕互動但又令人想去互動成為作品的一種獨特元素,也是對媒體藝術必需要互動的一種諷刺或疑問。
在她的作品裡聲音也是一種重要元素。因為我相信聲音本身是一個文化載體。利用這載體去比喻甚至去表達一些自然現象和一些城市狀態的關連。
