《Sound Intestines For Stockholm: Analogical/ Digital Body Music》

Taiwanese artist Lin Chi-Wei presents the commission Sound Intestines For Stockholm:
Analogical/ Digital Body Music performance in Konsthall C.

Sound Intestines for Stockholm: Analogical∕Digital Body Music is a series of work composed
of text, performance and image. Inspired by the linguistic production process of "Poesie Sonore"
from Dadaism and Futurism as well as the live performance of "Concrete Poem" movement, the
work is Lin's recent sound∕language experiment to employ all sorts of non-electronic sounds and materials in producing quasi-electronic sound effects while returning his practice to its original
body politics.

By instigating and gathering the collective sound and force of the local participants to formulate
the Sound Intestines for Stockholm: Analogical∕Digital Body Music into an interactive
instrument vibrated within the space, the performance that takes the concept of Möbius strip
will also complete a duo reversion to transform the meaning of the artwork itself in the
Swedish social∕cultural context—the interaction and exchange between the artist and the
audience become the turning neck of this metaphor, and the de-construction of "Zhong
Yong" (Confucian virtue, meaning "amidst the common") and "Lagom" (Swedish, meaning
"the best agreed") may introspect the energy of inversion to be reborn within each individual
and society.

Lin Chi-Wei works across visual art and sound art. As the founder of the first noise art group
"Zero and Sound Liberation Organisation" (1992-2000) in Taiwan and the key curator∕activist
of series of performance art and music festivals in the past fifteen years, Lin transforms his
aesthetic study and political concern into diverse artistic practices—sound art, critical
writing, installation, film, performance, painting, etc. Lately he is publishing a book addressing
the sound art development in relation to the local cultural political situation in Taiwan.
