AudioVisual Live performance / Sound art / expiremetal sound, Duration 30 mins
Tuba: HUANG Jing-Kai
《靈魂的副翼：呼吸》 作品聚焦於呼吸和聲音創作之間的共鳴。呼吸是人體少數可以在意識控制下進行，同時也可以在無意識中進行的功能之一。藝術家將意識與無意識地呼吸在聲音的介入後，會如何被擾動與變化，從提問轉變為一個觀察的對象。這個創作探索「氣」在吹奏樂器中的性質與交換狀態，以及如何與電子聲響相互聯繫的關係。
Aileron of Soul: Exhalation isfocuses on the resonance between breathing and creation of sounds. Breathing is among the few body functions that can be controlled consciously or performed unconsciously. By turning the question about how acoustic interventions disturb and alter conscious and unconscious breathing into a subject of observation, the artist explores the nature and exchange of "breath" in playing a wind instrument and their possible connections to electronic sounds.
In a form of audiovisual art, the live performance of Aileron of Soul: Exhalation combines a brass instrument with electronic sounds and images generated in real time, along with sounds sampled on-site and designed spatial audio content.

AudioVisual / Dome experience
「我們描繪我們所看到的世界，它描繪從世界所看到的我們。」
這是一件專為著Dome呈現格式製作的AudioVisual作品。希望透過空間音訊與半球狀投影幕的特殊性，來安排影像敘事，作品著重於聲音與影像的連動性，並透過空間音訊的動態調度，解離出非同平面影像的觀覽狀態。《靈魂的副翼：穹丘》 是對於人工智慧作為一種工具的假設提問出發，所延伸的視覺刺激與探索。它提供了一種非人類視覺的組構方式，將關鍵字嵌入影像與聲響中。作品試圖從建築學、地質學與天文學等面向切入，從人工智慧所產出的視覺架構，探討AI視覺所描述的人類知識樣貌，並突顯非人類視覺認知的違和感。藉此提問人工智慧的影像產出，是引領人類靈魂突破現有認知引導的副翼，還是主導著一張張隱藏著等價交換的契約，而我們並不知道實際上背負的交換內容。
This is an AudioVisual piece by Ping Sheng WU, specifically produced in the Dome format. It seeks to arrange the narrative through spatial audio and the uniqueness of a hemispherical projection screen, focusing on the interaction between sound and image. The work uses dynamic spatial audio to create a viewing experience beyond a flat plane.
'Aileron of Soul: DOMOUND' is a visual exploration starting from the hypothesis of artificial intelligence as a tool. It provides a perspective different from human vision, embedding keywords in images and sound. The piece approaches from fields like architecture, geology, and astronomy, exploring human knowledge as depicted by AI's visual structures. It questions whether AI's visual output is an auxiliary wing leading human cognition or a dominant force in a concealed exchange, the real burden of which is unknown.

AudioVisual Live performance / 5G Live-streaming

"Quantum of Time Inside Light" is an AudioVisual work created for immersive spatial experience, located in the U108 special exhibition space of the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts. The work consists of a 14-meter diameter ground projection and a 360° circular projection space, along with spatial audio design, creating an infinite space-like experience for participants.
The artist employs principles of quantum mechanics from physics to elucidate the behavior and characteristics of time in the universe. By depicting the uncertainty and non-linear states of time through the behavior and changes of light, the work combines the characteristics of particle motion with the concept of time to create visual elements that correspond to time expansion, compression, and extension. In addition, the spatial audio design allows for more possibilities in listening angles, enabling the audience to perceive subtle changes in time and explore the expansion of sensory dimensions through visual and auditory experiences.
The work focuses on the nature of time and its impact on human perception. By creating a multi-dimensional space that challenges linear concepts, the artist invites the audience to contemplate how time affects their understanding of reality. By extending through sound and vision in space, the audience is invited to experience time in a more dynamic and sensory way, enveloped in a sensory audiovisual experience that unfolds like branches, expanding beyond the constraints of linear time frameworks.

"Folding Harmonies" is an AudioVisual work created for immersive spatial experience. Drawing from quantum mechanics, it explores time's nature in the universe, illustrating the fluctuating behaviors of light to portray time as a flexible entity. A thematic continuation of a 2022 generative art piece, it employs light, shadow, and waveform undulations to depict time's expansion, compression, and extension, offering viewers a vibrant, multi-dimensional sensory exploration, challenging conventional perceptions of reality and linear time.
It investigates the intricate relationship between sound, light, and space, evoking a shared consciousness among its audience. Born from the ethos of generative art, this work deeply explores the connections between auditory and visual experiences.
Crafted with complex coding, 'Folding Harmonies' represents a shift in digital artistry. More than just two hundred variations archived on the blockchain, it is an evolving, dynamic entity. Each visual piece, rendered with client-side computing, brings a pixelated world to life, with each pixel distinctively contributing to the narrative of light and sound.
The artist reimagines these pixel arrangements, endowing each with unique movement and speed, allowing viewers to see how these details merge into cohesive imagery. This approach transforms rigid algorithmic formulas into an artistic and poetic experience, revealing the essence of 'Folding Harmonies'.
On an architectural scale, the work fully engages the senses, moving from two-dimensional logic to a three-dimensional experience through layered light and sound. 'Folding Harmonies' offers a unique perspective, inviting viewers to interpret the sounds they see and to listen to the visual echoes imprinted on their minds.

Sound Installation
acrylic, rise paper, iron structure, drivers, copper pillars, amplifier module, Mac mini, audio interface, DC power supply.
For thousands of years, paper has been a medium to document human history and civilization. Its invention was a huge technological leap that allowed us to keep our memories alive. However, with the emergence of new media, our knowledge structure has expanded to the margins of the universe. This expansion has resulted in the neglect of significant pieces of information that we fail to digest in a timely manner.
Nowadays, our eyes are glued to various screens that offer us a multitude of messages that we enjoy in our daily lives. This rapid flow of information can lead to superficial thinking, and we may not realize the emptiness and shallowness of our thinking until the effects of this stimulus wear off.
When we continue to look at paper, we may gradually lose our focus and become alienated from its elegance and historicity as a carrier of human civilization. To challenge the dominance of vision, I attempt to transform media into a kind of materiality by using physical vibrations. Through the sound field created by the installation, I blend the memories of real-life experiences into the work. I hope this installation, combined with the delicate and translucent texture of paper, will have an alternative resonance for the viewers.
