Epoch - Soundscape Fossil 通过沉浸式表演和体验式雕塑两个部分深入探讨了珊瑚礁在气候变化的普遍影响下，在 "人类世 "时代发生的凄美变化。
科学界将检测珊瑚声景观作为了解海洋健康状况的一种手段，健康的珊瑚礁是海底生物的庇护所；当珊瑚礁白化以及死亡后，珊瑚礁将变得寂静。如果气候持续恶化，健康且活跃的珊瑚声景只会如同痕迹化石一般，只作为曾经存在过的证据存在。项目中使用的音频记录源自与我合作的英国海洋生物学家在印尼苏拉威西岛进行的科学研究。通过使用 Python 编程，将声音数据转化为视觉体验。选择3D陶瓷打印是因为它模仿了类似于化石随着时间的推移逐渐形成的分层过程。雕塑的每一层叠加除了机器的精确打印还伴随着我的手工调整，我与机器的相互合作为最终的创作增添了张力、活力和美感以及独一性。由于每个化石雕塑都来自不同的音频记录，每一件化石雕塑还拥有一条独一无二的音频。
雕塑的最终呈现为体验式雕塑，每一个雕塑都将发出凄美的声音。中间竖立的数字纪念碑带领观众去到印尼海底，数字纪念碑象征着悲伤和纪念；而每座雕塑都见证了时间的流逝和曾经繁荣的声学生态系统的脆弱。
作品的另一部分----聆听舞蹈剧场，舞者佩戴迷你扬声器作为可穿戴设备在雕塑和观众之间优雅地穿梭，营造出身临其境的体验。该项目结合数字技术和沉浸式表演为雕塑注入了生命力，旨在通过建立观众与雕塑之间的情感链接从而更深刻的感知到气候变化带来的影响。
Epoch explores the profound changes occurring in coral reefs during the Anthropocene era, heavily impacted by climate change. It achieves this by blending immersive performances and experiential sculptures.
The project recognizes the scientific community's use of soundscapes to monitor ocean health. Healthy coral reefs provide shelter for underwater species, while bleached and dead reefs lack nutrition and consequently lose their characteristic soundscape. These disappearing soundscapes, akin to fossils, exist only in our memories.
Drawing from empirical evidence, the project uses audio recordings from British marine biologists' research in Indonesia's Sulawesi. Employing Python programming, it translates acoustic data into visuals. The deliberate choice of 3D ceramic printing mimics the gradual layering process of fossil formation, with a unique dynamic emerging from collaboration between the artist and the printing machine. Each layer combines precise data translation with manual adjustments, resulting in sculptures that are distinctive and irreplaceable.
The ultimate presentation comprises experiential sculptures, each of which carries its own elegy. These digital monuments transport audiences to the Indonesian ocean while symbolizing grief and remembrance. Each sculpture signifies the passage of time and the vulnerability of once-thriving acoustic ecosystems.
The Dance Theatre of Listening immerses spectators in an ethereal underwater world. Dancers, equipped with wearable mini speakers, gracefully move among the sculptures and the audience, evoking a stark contrast between the thriving coral reef soundscape and the reality of its decline.
Through digital media and immersive performance, Epoch infuses tension and vividness into its sculptures. It employs a multi-sensory approach to recreate the vanishing coral reef soundscape, aiming to deeply engage the audience and foster an emotional connection with the consequences of climate change.
