reviews:
"It was very eye-opening and I felt a strong and
newfound connection with my body. The internal buzzing in my body that I so often ignore felt stronger to me as I went through the exhibition..."
"It was interesting. Kept trying to connect everything for myself.
Very poetic and introspective
Space for imagination
Love it when others try the experiments
Sound is an area to explore for meaning & can guide us
Mythos of sound
Felt like therapy in a good way
Embodied hearing, connected physics with it
Other exhibitions were beautiful..."
"homotopy gave me new insight into my relationship
with sound; it made me realise there are so many
more ways that I am aware of sound, not just in audio form. It exists in many other states as well and
I think in daily life we often neglect to tune ourselves
into the other ways of realising that we coexist with
sound... I could literally still “feel” the vestiges of the sounds (whether in their audio states or other forms, perhaps tactile, visual or even as just-formed memories) that I had encountered accompany me to watch the projection in the next part of the room. It really felt like the sounds were not just following me but leading me into exploring these pieces which the
collaborators had brought into existence. I would like to see further iterations and expansions of this project,
as each collaborator and artmaker’s ways of making meaning have truly been engaging and insightful to me."
"The exhibition was a journey! I felt that it aligned
with other events in my life — more specifically,
that just yesterday my mom and I were talking
about sound therapy for the muscles, for my
grandfather."
"I LOVE IT! As someone who works in the museum
sector, I am always familiar with consuming arts or being in touch with my emotions visually and literally. Understanding the impacts of sound and vibrations is very new and interesting for me."
"It was a very exploratory kind of exhibition that brings us into different interpretations of sounds. The score piece resonated with me, it took me a while to understand but when I did, it was such an interesting way to convey a piece of music / sound."
"A change of pace. Acquainted me with new rhythms... Reminded me of the work of Bagyi Aung Soe."
"I loved how free-flowing and open the explorations were. I really loved how much research was involved and the
connections to physics and biology."
"Overall, it was a liberating experience for me. (The team has) created a highly collaborative space where I feel safe yet challenged to explore my artistic and personal boundaries. Boundaries meaning since this is my first artist-collaboration upon graduation and this is highly experimental. It really expanded my spectrum of possibilities. For instance, it opens the new door to thinking about science artistically... This project merged my interests in practice-as-research."
"It was very accessible and offered rich food for
thought, especially with additional explanations by the artists. I really enjoyed the variety of ways we could interact with & experience sound. It really provoked a deep reflection on how sound is experienced in my life. I like the transducer installation especially."
"I had a great time during this process. It opened a new way of devising work with many elements such as space, sound (and the thought of) and bodies in space. It was a great opportunity to push my mindset and limits as a new artist!"
