*FREE ADMISSION
Korean artist Yoon Chung Han has been seeking new ways to create projects by
mixing diverse territories such as artificial life, urban habitat, cosmology, biological
organisms, and phonology. She believes that the new natural way of life progression
is based on the merging between biology and art.
In the exhibition 'ONE', emerging artist Yoon Chung Han selected 4 works that are
closely related to biological lives, nature and environment. These works created by
herself and Erick Oh, the award-winning animation artist based on Los Angeles, have
a strong focus on sound, en element that has been interested Yoon for years. In terms
of style, Yoon's works are very much inspired by the simplicity in the works of masters
Nam June Paik, Toshio Iwai, John Cage, Oskar Fischinger, John Whitney, and
John Maeda.
The artist’s work has always been about exploring new ways of creating sound-based
physical interaction design, interactive installations, and sound visualizations. She
notices sound is everywhere, invisible, intuitive and experiential. These characteristics
of sound lead her to keep creating diverse ways of expressing sounds based on her
intuitive thoughts and observation of human's behaviors.
The meaning of the exhibition title “One” is to get all diverse territories together and
create an unexpected territory in the world – the ONE and the only ONE territory.
While our world will be consistently updated by circulating accumulation of new artistic
creatures, this exhibition points out the merging between art and biology in the artist's
unique point of view and the sophisticated digital creatures that hence come about.
Work Description >>
One - A Biological Art Installation
By Yoon Chung Han, Erick Oh, Gautam Rangan
'One' tries to immerse the viewer in fantasy through animation. The audience is presented with a small dish that contains a little spilled ink - what happens inside and around this drop of pigment?
If you look close enough, you can see that the ink is listening! The viewer plays the role of a god temporarily: tapping, prodding, covering, blowing on and speaking to the ink induces complex and intricate responses. The microcosm that evolves from doodling both reflects and subverts the natural systems in which we live.
Phonophobia - Sound installation + Sound Visualization
By Yoon Chung Han
 
Humans have their own fears in their minds. In particular, the fear of “Sound” strongly affects human’s sensory organs since humans tend to imagine or over-think everything when they hear invisible sound.
The fear of sounds is called “Phonophobia”, which can be a serious disease or unique urban symptom to people who live in urban areas. This project focuses on the human’s fear of urban noises and sounds, and suggests an amplifying object.
Jellyfish - An Interactive Musical Instrument
By Yoon Chung Han
'Jellyfish' is an interactive sound installation. It’s an extended version of the artists’ previous work “Sound Marbles”, which creates the composition of sounds by simple interaction. Jellyfish uses the simplest way of interaction – touching -- with objects to create sounds, and the way of creating sounds was inspired by musical instruments.
This work was selected by Takeaway Festival (London) in 2009.
Symphony – Animated film
By Erick Oh
‘Symphony’ is an abstract animation set to Vivaldi's "Summer", a concerto from The Four Seasons. The film portrays a sentient creature trying to escape from a reality of being swept away and assimilated into the mainstream, regardless of its own will. The topic of this abstractedly crafted animation applies to anything that struggles to be free. It can be a phenomenon occurring deep within the body and soul, or an individual confronting the standardized masses. In order to create a whole new abstract world that conveys lots of matters, the director borrowed the image of the organic form from the interior of the human body, especially the strong similarity between the journey of a sperm to bore a new life and the dreadful virus causing corruption and death gave him a huge inspiration to visualize his thought on human life.

[ONE - 新媒體進化論]
Yoon Chung Han的聲音裝置與Erick Oh的動畫藝術
科技到底有沒有改變生物演變的過程？
生物學跟藝術這兩種風馬牛不相的範疇，其實擁有著千絲萬縷的關係。而融合不同的領土，不斷的科技及藝術嶄新將會令世界進化成一個令人意想不到的領域。年青韓籍藝術家Yoon Chung Han一直竭力尋求以新的角度， 創作融合人工生命、城市生活環境、宇宙學、生物有機體、音韻學等別樹一格的藝術作品。
是次展覽將於２００９年8月２５至２８日在錄映太奇舉行，作品融合生物學和藝術的獨特觀點，展現兩種不同元素所擦出的火花。展覽中的四件作品均與生物學，大自然與環境有著密切的關係。 她和屢獲殊榮的動畫藝術家Erick Oh尤其對聲音這個範疇有著濃厚的興趣。
藝術家意識到聲音是無處不在，是看不見的，也是主觀和具實驗性的。這些特徵帶領她不斷破舊立新，探索聲音對人類行為的影響。

展品介紹>>
One - 一件關於生命科學的藝術裝置
藝術家： Yoon Chung Han, Erick Oh, Gautam Rangan
這件作互動動畫裝置讓觀眾一嘗擔當「上帝」的滋味。這件由三名藝術家的共同創作讓觀眾窺探一個獨一無二的世界。裝置前的碟子盛著一滴烏黑混圓的墨水，當觀眾走到裝置中，就成為了這個世界的主人。他們可以用拍打，覆蓋，吹動，傾瀉 等不同的方法引發墨水微妙複雜的反應，從而改變這個世界的外觀。墨水亦是我們置身的世界縮影，讓觀眾反思自身的世界和各種破壞自然生態的行為。
Phonophobia -聲音與聲音視覺化裝置（作品記錄）
藝術家：Yoon Chung Han
每個人的內心都存在對不同事物的恐懼。而看不見的恐懼，過度的幻想更令恐懼感進一步升級，造成極具破壞力的精神困擾，對身體各個器官均造成不良的影響 。
聲音恐懼症被稱為“ Phonophobia ”，是一種能嚴重影響健康的都市疾病，這件作品深入探討及放大城市人所恐懼的各種噪音及聲音，從而展現都市噪音的禍害。
Jellyfish -互動樂器
藝術家：Yoon Chung Han
藝術家從傳統樂器獲得靈感， 以簡單方法與不同的物件互動, 彈奏出像深海聲波般的音律。而水母的外觀更能增加作品的趣味性，讓觀眾以聲音體驗奇妙的深海旅程
Symphony - 動畫電影
藝術家：Erick Oh
精子為了製造新生命的旅程，與病毒帶來死亡和腐壞的的入侵竟有驚人的相同之處。藝術家以體內細胞的旅程，引發觀眾思考人生的意義。動畫以古典音樂家韋瓦第的協奏曲“四季” 中的“夏”作為背境音樂 。內容講述一隻生物單靠自己的意志掙扎求存，試圖擺脫現實，以免被主流的巨浪沖走。作品反映個人對自由的追求和面對被群眾標準化時的壓力。
