《回響與幻象》'Echoes and Imagery'
王梓健聲景裝置作品 A Soundscape Installation by Peter Wong Tsz Kin
​​​​​​​​

在聲音超載的世界，還聽到甚麼？

​​

聲音藝術家王梓健自2021年起開始搜集香港城市聲音，走遍各處聆聽，設置錄音機採集、後製、撰寫文字紀錄、上載 — 系統化及數據化的記錄聲音並製成聲音地圖及存庫。

​

四年過去，王梓健察覺自身對城市嘈雜的不適感俱增、街道、聲音的混亂，每日受到過量的聽覺資訊轟炸，內在與作為環境錄音師的身份開始產生矛盾。

​

是次聲景裝置作品將以過往搜集的環境錄音選段、空間音效系統(Spatial Audio System)、虛擬城市聲音與即時生成影像的並置及藝術家的現場交流組成，以時間沉澱聽覺，提供一個場域重新詮釋城市聲音，展示內心矛盾的深刻反思，建構一個聲音烏托邦，共同體驗並思考在喧囂中尋求寧靜的可能性。

What Echoes Beneath the City's Drowning Sound?

​​

Sound artist Peter Wong Tsz Kin began collecting the urban sounds of Hong Kong in 2021, traversing various locations to listen, setting up recording devices to capture, edit, document, and upload—systematically and digitally recording sounds to create a sound map and archive.

 

After four years, Wong has become increasingly aware of his discomfort with the city's noise, the chaos of streets and sounds, and the daily bombardment of excessive auditory information, leading to a growing internal conflict with his identity as a field recordist.

​

This soundscape installation will incorporate selected segments of previously collected field recordings, a spatial audio system, virtual city sounds, and the juxtaposition of generative images alongside the artist's live interactions. It aims to deepen auditory experiences through the sedimentation of time, reinterpreting urban soundscape in a space that reflects profound internal contradictions, constructing a sound utopia where audiences can collectively experience and contemplate the possibility of finding tranquillity amidst the noise.​
