Archival Records

sound installation and lecture performance
Asia Art Archive, Hong Kong // 12 Feb. 2010 to 31 May 2010
www.aaa.org.hk

Developed during the Artist in Residency program of Asia Art Archive, Archival Records intends to articulate the Archive’s physical and material space through the medium of sound, and establish a new connection between the Archive’s ‘voices’. It focuses on the realm bridging textual readings (of printed material) and their vocal counterparts, through multilingual audio recordings of excerpts from the collection, supplemented by ambient sounds at the Archive. This sound installation not only aims at exploring the idea of the Archive but also rediscovering the mechanics of sensory experiences and aural cognition through a composed technological mediation of experience.
Archival Records focus on the reading of selected texts found in the Archive, which deal with sound or its particular vocabulary, either directly or indirectly. The collection of recordings will be continued during the exhibition with texts from:
