by BACC exhibition dept. in collaboration with SO::ON Dry FLOWER
28 April - 2 May 2015
Studio 4th floor

A experimental sound project presents the intensity and tension using 'Drift' as in motor racing technique where the driver
intentionally oversteers while maintaining control, the concept is to propose psychological digressing in geography of sounds
from one area to the next and explore its diverse aspects through technical and creative contents that involves crossing
platforms andvarious disciplines of the artists. The focus is to allow the audience to understand sound as an art form and
open up to incidents and situations to arrive at their new listening experience. With combination of solo performances, sound
installations, improvising sessions, workshops and lectures, the project investigates unheard perceptions of sound through
works by international / localsound artists via different formats under experimental approach. A series of experimental sound
project comes to the last with Project #3: ACCIDENT

Project #3: ACCIDENT Accident or event or incident that happens unexpectedly or unintentionally could turn to be an
opportunity for sound incident that spontaneously happened. The concept is to encourage series of movements composing
of diverse acts and materials extended to be sound source. From inputs to outputs, cause and effect, diverse qualities are all
interacted both presumed and coincidental to deliver phenomenon. Chance is the key to allow for mistakes experimenting
with the ordinary found in daily situations. A combination between sound installation and performing, ‘Accident’ is a happening
created with an aim to share. The audience could see, hear, and perceive to experience the on-going operations making us
relook and question aesthetic and meaning of sound from common realities.
