to die for a new skin
performed by Mile Elim, Tang Tsz Wai Cheri
2024
paint cans, wires, hanger, leaves, flower pot nets, ceramics, magnet ball, vortex coil
As the leaves fade and die, a portal to rebirth emerges - weaving a new skin from the traces of pain and energizing the concealed echoes in old containers. A ceremony is waiting to be unveiled, summoned by the weight of memory.
當葉片漸漸枯萎凋落，一道重生的入口悄然浮現 —— 從痛楚的痕跡中編織出嶄新的肌膚，喚醒舊容器中潛藏的回聲與能量。
一場儀式正等待揭幕，由記憶的重量所召喚。

Porcelain
Creating my own set of fingers with ceramics, I’m able to go around the streets and play the different surfaces like an instrument. According to their structure and texture and the noise from the surrounding environment, the rhythm and sound from each moment were unique. I plugged my earphones into the ZOOM handy recorder to listen to the surroundings immensely and to record the sounds; and used my phone for video, to also keep data of the visual elements.
用陶瓷創作出屬於自己的「手指」，我能夠在街道上演奏不同的表面，彷彿演奏一件樂器。根據它們的結構與質地，以及周圍環境的噪音，每一刻的節奏與聲音都是獨一無二的。我將耳機插入ZOOM便攜錄音機，專注地聆聽周圍的聲音並進行錄音；同時使用手機錄製視頻，保留視覺元素的數據。

performed by Dmitry Po & Tang Tsz Wai Cheri
Porcelain, Stoneware, Dark stoneware, Parts of Call Bell, Wooden Mallets, Solenoids, PCB Boards, Arduino, plants, fans, cameras, directional and contact mics, Max/MSP, Java, VCV Rack, Arturia Pigments
Resonating tones of ceramic bells and rustling of interactive plants blending into a live performance - these organic and tangible objects weave together acoustic and synthesized elements, creating a meditative atmosphere. The setting invites an extended exploration of soundscapes.
陶鈴的共鳴音調與互動植物的沙沙聲交織於現場演出之中——這些有機且可觸的物件將聲學與合成元素編織在一起，營造出冥想般的氛圍。此環境引領觀者延展性地探索聲景。

A progress showing of process and collaboration
A performer moves among the molds—
bending, resisting, cracking open…
being molded.
A performer sources from the side—
the sounds, noise,
positive and negative space…
recording.
They return with raw materials:
the time of making,
held in the body,
in frequencies,
in cassette and radio,
in the space itself.
In parallel, they explore
transmutation and synesthesia,
working with the traces of making
that are still lingering in the air.
— in the making
and in the becoming—
過程與合作的展現
一位表演者在模具之間移動—
彎曲、抵抗、裂開……
被塑形。
一位表演者在一旁取材—
聲音、雜訊、正負空間……
錄製。
他們帶回原始材料：製作的時間
被保存在身體裡，
在頻率之中，
在卡式錄音帶與收音機裡，
也在空間本身。
他們探索轉化與聯覺關係，
那些仍在空氣中縈繞的製作痕跡一起。
— 成形中
製作中 —
