荒物聲響裝置 Performative ARAMONO

作品介紹

將日常生活的民常器物「荒物」，組合成一組一組的聲響裝置，鍋碗瓢盆在大稻埕的日常裡是什麼聲音？這些聲音變成聲響裝置又是什麼樣子？今年的大稻埕國際藝術節，邀請您來地衣荒物一起跟著日常器物的聲響，挖掘我們土地中的聽覺記憶。這是一場演出，也是實驗工作坊，更是一場關於大稻埕生活器物的聽覺裝置展覽。

Project Description

“Performative Aramono” is an interactive sound installation that fuses traditional culture and modern technology. In collaboration with a local business in Tau-Tiu-Tiann that promotes Taiwanese daily essentials, the project explores the concept of Aramono—objects in their original, unadorned state—and extends this idea to various aspects of auditory and visual culture.

Through an interactive webpage connected to the sound installation, the project reimagines ordinary objects as a unique drum set, amplifying the intrinsic resonances of space and materials. Viewers can control the strike of solenoids by scanning a QR code with their mobile devices to trigger sensory feedback through sound and light. This “Intra-activity (Barad, 2007)” allows participants to transform everyday objects into a musical interface for collaborative signal-based resonant soundscapes, thus breathing new life into daily essentials and expanding the audience’s imagination of visual culture.

Beyond allowing remote control, the installation also examines the connectivity between physical and virtual entities. Participants gain interactive capabilities by granting limited access to personal data such as location and input/output devices to become nodes in the system, provoking reflections on freedom and surveillance in the digital age.

When displayed, “Performative Aramono” utilizes objects with historical or cultural relevance to the exhibition site, which allows viewers to experience sonic interaction and learn about the history and stories of the locale. The project periodically hosts experimental performances and workshops, encouraging participants to select objects that are personally significant to them. This deepens the engagement and connection between the audience and the artwork.

Drawing on the philosophy of Heidegger, who posited that all entities—both human and nonhuman—are involved in shaping the world, “Performative Aramono” embodies this philosophical notion through its layered interactions and participations. It redefines our relationships with the material world and social networks, offering a nuanced understanding of how these various elements interplay to shape our perceptions of the world.
