Distant Water Exotic Landscape - Post Instalation Studies (Archive Officielle - 024–album Preview) by Aloïs Yang published on 2022-08-24T14:23:46Z “Distant Water Exotic Landscape” is a generative audio and visual installation that explores the micro and macro perceptions of environmental cycle system through the transformational and transmittable materiality of water. It invites audience to (re-)consider the interdependencies among human, water and technology, as well as the liminal boundaries between natural and artificial environments. The installation creates an imaginary landscape on coloured paper, where the black ink is constantly washed out by vaporised molecules of the water collected from various sources such as a local river, rain, spring, and imported bottled water. A pair of headphones is given to each viewer one at a time as live recodings reveal the energetic activities behind the formation of landscapes. Two types of microphones are installed behind the paper: a hydrophone inside the water bottle — to magnify the movements of liquid water and its vaporised steam, and a pair of electromagnetic sensors — to capture the electric flow consumed by the water vaporiser. The duration of forming a piece of “landscape” and its energy consumption is precisely controlled: each piece is made of one distinct source of water ‘transforming’ on one piece of paper, within 7 hours of completed vaporisation. In this sense, new landscapes are created on a daily basis until the end of the exhibition. A 31:28 soundtrack titled “Distant Water Exotic Landscape - Post Installation Studies” is comprised of recordings originating from 2 different exhibition spaces and various formational phases of different landscapes. These digitally recreated soundscapes transform the physical event into reimagined energetic phenomena that are led by unnatural laws in the digital environments. They are presented through constantly shifting listening angles and time frames. Meticulous streams of environmental information are articulated by active listening, constantly forming newly-emerging fragmented realities. *This recording has been modified and split in half to accommodate the cassette format. aloisyang.com/Distant-Water-Exotic-Landscape archiveofficielle.com credits released August 5, 2022 Archive Officielle-024, 2022 Duration : 31:28 Min 2 tracks, First edition of 50 copies Sounds and production by Aloïs Yang ©2022 Archive Officielle Recorded & Presented by SONICA Festival, Ljub ljana, Slovinia, 2020, oiioiooi’20, Sdalt Wehlen, Germany.
