ART & WORK

Echoes and Imagery - A Soundscape Installation

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.

WAVINCITY x AK IN KK - < 50/50 >

Two field recording projects, two distinct ecosystems: the bustling WAVINCITY, emblematic of urban life, and the tranquil AK IN KK, representative of the serenity of nature. The city and nature often seem to be in perpetual opposition, but is it possible to discover a harmonious balance between the two? Or is this balance only a wistful figment of our imagination?

Echoes of Urban Memory - A Sonic Installation

Sound is a ubiquitous presence in our lives, creating unique soundscapes through unintended interactions between people. “Echoes of Urban Memory” is an installation experience that seeks to delve into the profound connection between soundscapes and memories. Through a process of deconstruction and reassembly, the installation aims to unite personal memories and explore how soundscapes serve as a medium for connecting collective memories.

The sound materials used in this installation were all provided by WAVINCITY – Hong Kong Urban Soundscape Recording Project, established in 2021 by Peter Wong Tsz Kin, a recent graduate of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts’ Sound Design program. After two years of traversing the streets of Hong Kong and capturing the diverse sounds of the city through field recordings, these sounds have been artfully arranged by a team of creatives to form a one-of-a-kind journey that probes the intricate relationship between sound, memory, and identity.

Venue: Studio Theatre, Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts
Exhibition dates: 27 - 29/4/2023
