田野 The Room
装置，表演。 2015年 民生美术馆, 上海。
这个项目延续了我对社交媒体兴起以来，新的草根声响内容和新的声音文化的关注，以及对声响剧场表演的兴趣。
在播客，声音直播，以及视频直播兴起之后，声音的生产以及声音文化的状况也发生了改变。我们今天所面对的，是全新的声音田野。声音所依托的物理空间，也扩展到了无形的网络世界。
这个项目，设置为五个手机的实时直播装置，以及随之展开的声响剧场表演。表演时通过五个手机，实时即兴混音各个直播平台的声音流，同时对整个演出进行公开音频直播，探讨新社交媒体声音文化下，声音艺术中一些关键概念的重塑。这包括“空间，房间，寂静，有无”的概念。
整个表演分为三个部分。
第一部分是把声音艺术历史的名作 “i am sitting in the room” 用实时直播形态重新演绎。用五个手机的荔枝声音直播app，来直播现场关于i am sitting in the room的诵读，不断反馈和混音，形成今天媒介环境下围绕房间与声响的新作品形态。
第二部分，提前打印斗鱼的房间直播的网页代码6千多行，现场诵读其中的代码行，与直播的游戏声音，主播声音做实时remix。关注房间背后的权利规则通过代码的建构。
第三部分，诵读John Cage的关于无的演讲的文本，并实时即兴remix社交媒体的声音流。关注的是大量个人面对麦克风留存的声音媒体的数据遗骸，重新探讨无的概念。
表演在全黑的环境下进行，只留有手机液晶屏的光亮。因此，这里并没有放上演出录像。网页下拉到底，可以聆听正常录音。
This sound theater performance work explores the new social media sound culture and reshapes some key concepts in sound art. The entire sound theater performance uses six mobile phones. The real-time sound streams from various mobile live streaming apps are remixed and modulated on site. At the same time, the entire performance is also live stream through audio. There are three parts of the whole performance.
The first part is to reinterpret Alvin Lucier’s “i am sitting in the room”, a masterpiece in the history of sound art, in a real-time live broadcast format. The artist use audio live streaming apps on five mobile phones to broadcast his live recite of “i am sitting in the room”. Through receiving and remixing constantly live streaming feedbacks, thus the artist re-creates the classic work in today’s new media environment.
In the second part, the artist prints more than 6,000 lines of webpage code of the online live broadcast room in advance, select and reads the code on the spot, and remixes the streaming sounds in real time. The purpose of this is to reveal how the power is constructed through the code.
In the third part, the artist recites the text of John Cage‘s “Speech on Nothing” and remixes the live streaming in real time. The purpose of this is to discover the huge online data wreckage produced by a large number of individuals using new sound media, and to re-discuss the concept of nothingness.
