Description
This seminal exhibition, the first of its kind in Hong Kong, showcases the artistic achievements of some of the most famous sound artists from home and abroad. Participants include: Christina Kubisch, Leung Chi Wo, Edwin Lo, Cedric Maridet, Kingsley Ng, Ed Osborn, Steve Roden, Remko Scha, Anthony Yeung and Samson Young. Sound art is enjoying a new found celebrity status, combining both visual and auditory elements that offer exciting opportunitites for new forms of multimedia creativity. While contemporary culture is predominantly visual, sound art co-opts this fascination to re-awaken our sense of hearing. When presented in gallery environments sound art fills white walled spaces with its sonorous envelope and voluminous bath of active vibrations This exhibition reveals the intense posticism that arises when sound comes into being within such white walls. Each of the exhibiting artists will choose a particular space within the Creative Media Centre to locate their work, and thereby enliven the building and enthral its visitors with their synesthetic art of seeing + hearing.
Artists：Christina Kubisch; Leung Chi Wo; Edwin Lo; Cedric Maridet; Kingsley Ng; Ed Osborn; Steve Roden; Remko Scha; Yeung Ngor Wah Anthony; Samson Young
