Experience is created allowing the subversion, mediation, avoidance, maintenance or strengthening of social relations.
After an year of field research, this exhibition combine documents, files and art works, representing and exploring sound culture movements of post-war Taiwan.
The exhibition's common thread is the reconsideration of local culture in various sound production practices.over nativism by searching cultural indigenality in various sound makings. Issues of cultural identity has been an unavoidable topic in light of Taiwan's history of modernization, which includes , colonial domination, authoritarian rule and contending with modern western countries. We set to work in the soil of Taiwan's social history, digging, sifting through, and searching to ultimately put together a geneological record of sound and indigenality, and then explored the possibility of transforming this record with our notion of sound making.
