kit2mapE

As an extension of the exploratory exercises introduced in Part I, this new self-learning exercise is an actual walk designed for listening. Wong Nai Chung Gap Trail presents a historically and sonically rich experience, and yet, under-recognized as such. Upon The Library’s research in collaboration with a small group of artists and citizens of Hong Kong, a guide for listening is composed in the form of poetic prose. Birds, forests, buildings of all shapes and sizes, memories of war…all come into the walk. We are delighted to invite you to take a walk with us.

這是承接第一部所綜合設計的一段聆聽之旅。黃泥涌陝徑是一個不多為人所知,卻是個能好好體會歷史和聲音的地方。聲音圖書館與一班藝術家和香港公眾一起研究,結合出一個詩歌形式的聆聽指引。蟲鳥、草木、不同建築、抗戰歷 史…… 在路上遇見,用聆聽再發現。我們懇請你跟我們一起走。

2012 – 2013 「聲動校園」工作坊

Editor’s note: The Library has been running school workshops for a year. Students have shared with us sketches, songs, recordings, and writings they have created during the workshops. To make sense of these contributions, we invited artist Chung Nga-yan to create  an artistic response. 

編者按: 「聲動校園」工作坊推行了整整的一年,迄今聲音圖書館團隊已經走訪了八家中學。作為一個「入門式」工作坊,學生對於聲音作為藝術實踐,以至錄音的經驗都近乎零。如何深化學生的參與成果成為也了我們的一個難題。

為此,聲音圖書館邀請了阿鍾 (鍾雅欣) 作為「聲動校園」工作坊的回應藝術家,並以學生在工作坊所繪畫的聲音地圖和錄音帶作為原材料,透過藝術創作形式,整理出另一套脈絡。作為一個第三者,阿鍾的角色是冷靜的,因為她並沒有真正到訪過學校。就讓我們以阿鍾的介入作為一次實驗,為「聲動校園」工作坊作一次小整頓。

After listening to the recordings, I feel like a little more truth is revealed. Also, a certain divide between available information and our sensory world emerges.
The sound collectors offer images that tell of a place; I get to understand the world that the images sound out. They encode a place with sounds, giving shape to a different world by listening, shaking up my imagination.

So I start mixing with them. I misplace the sounds, codes and locations, following the clues provided by them, and recompose the information of a place, creating a different world. I am surprised that the staggered arrangements come together in harmony, as if telling a gentle lie.

-Chung Nga-yan

聽過以後,就好像揭開多一點的事實,也出現了一個訊息與感觀世界的落差。
我把某地的聲音與圖像分開來理解,透過採聲人對某地的聲音所作的闡述及文字紀錄,我會想像一地的聲音是如何豐富和細緻。可以說是一片美好。但當我再聽到採聲人用聲音為一地編錄的聲音時,卻與我已理解的有落差。動搖了我原來想像的世界。 於是,我跟他們拼了。把不同地的聲音,符號及地點錯置,把收集回來的聲音及圖像作提示,重新編譜一地的訊息,製造另一個世界。讓我驚訝的是這種雙重交錯的世界其實很和諧,像說了一個柔軟的謊話。
