Phoebe Hui "Mediators" 

In this exhibition, I want to explore the idea of equivalence and non-hierarchical thinking in the context of digital media, paying particular attention to the role of the "new" as a crucial theme of contemporary art. My work aims at opening up a field of sounds that are continuous rather than discrete which are also not restricted to the classical pitched system. How can sonic artists make use of continuous and unpitched sounds? What methods of organization can replace the traditional methods of selecting and combining sounds?

Koya Tarumi "Arousal or Boredom"

Under the theme of "seeing sound", this work expresses sounds in a visible way.
Exchanging our senses of sight and hearing awakes a new perception.
In front of the wall where embedded speakers vibrate silently, viewers will exercise their imagination to appreciate inaudible sounds.

Nao Nishihara "Sound Cracks"

The extreme insufficiency of information or anticipation makes our consciousness suspended and blank. I call this process 'the cracks between consciousnesses' and I consider this state to make people obtain multiple potentialities. In this state one struggles against a sense of insecurity but at the same time he/she becomes full of curiosity, and at this point the somatic sensation and the boundary of self is shifting. As a result you can bare all possibilities that you can have. This is the experiment provoked inside you and on your own.

[Profile] Born in 1976, Nishihara works arts on sounds. He received his BA (Musical Creativity and the Environment) in 2009 and MFA (Inter Media Art) in 2011 from Tokyo University of the Arts. His main activities include two solo exhibitions, "Deaf Cane" (2011, explosion tokyo) and "under 35 gallery" (2011, Shin Minatomura: A Small City for the Future, Shinko Pier, Yokohama). He is also a co-translator of Alan Licht's "Sound Art" with Kazue Kobata and Hiroshi Egaitsu (2010, Filmart-Sha Co;Ltd.).
