| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北藝術大學 === 新媒體藝術學系碩士班 === 107 === “Overlapped Ensemble: Suspended Sound Measurement” begins from two works: Albrecht Dürer’s “Der Traum des Doktors” and Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s “The Parable of the Blind”, tries to open the multiple relationships and imaginations toward/ between hearing perception and the consciousness of body.
The introduction in first chapter goes with two sections: “The Inclined Ear” (a listening body gesture) and “In Suspension” (a shutdown situation by accident). Hearing perception is a completed ungapped immersive experience, the ears embrace a wider world than other perceptions, it never pauses, even a situation without consciousness cannot escape from the surveillance of hearing.
Chapter two: “Automatism - the Gliding of Gravity” is the core part of this thesis. First section: “Inside and Outside” describes the gliding traces of the gravity of body in “The Parable of the Blind”, the automatic serial reaction of body during falling experiences from childhood, and a memory of heartbeat and epilepsy within body. These events discuss the rhythmic movement and automatism with-in and with-out body. Second section: “The Game and the Measuring Tool” raises an intensive relationship between “adventure”, “balance” and “Game”, through movement - the gliding of gravity in three objects (Bamboo Cicada, Scale, and Metronome).
And “Another Calibration” (Chapter three) goes mainly about the events of past music training in memory, it associates the linguistic symbol with the sound of keyboard and rhythm, and re-understand the calibration of time through soundless training. Separately brings out the complexify relationships between sound and time.
Fourth chapter is about the new installation work “Overlapped Ensemble”, begins with Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s concept of “refrain” in geography and the extension of music, raises out the gap and serial relationship in exploded view drawing. In the new work, five metronomes draw endlessly back and forth in overlapped tangent line, demonstrate a sound measurement - on one hand, likely breakbeat, yet random and complex sound, it stands closer to real, complex space around us. And in other hand, it brings out a hearing status including memory (the backward past and the forward future in the sequence of time).
