If words are a symbol of sound, what sound would a piece of paper without words remind you of?<\/p>

This artwork establishes its tone with eight sound installations, each installation is constituted by paper, motor, air compressor and LED lights. Papers and different parts of these installations not only make different sound but produce different shapes and visual effects at the same time. The recurring sound and movements of the flapping papers sometimes resemble the fluttering wings or a shot at the dartboard. All sounds produced on site are transmitted simultaneously to a computer programme and handled with special effect to strengthen the possibilities of sound. As if a chapter performs with paper, within this chapter full of banging sounds, hope this whole installation can allow your hippocampus to influence different memories and imaginations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
