“I can’t hear you ” is a sculpture sound installment work. The entity part of the work are made by glass, the metal and plaster ear which casted from my own body, as well as sawdust framing. Audience is able to hear the female voice－the Distress signal - through the installation.
In this work, the casted ear is not only the second skin of mine, but it is also the only point which connect sound and exterior space, and it is also the basis for audience to imagine certain story in this. Sound (my voice repeating” help”) go through the “my” ear, to audience’s ear, which is a sort of interactive circle I am always interested in.
Digital technology actually brings new meaning to the static objects, such as digital video, audio, sound, projector are actually creating the new possibility for triggering the audience’s sense and emotion. It enabled the audience to experience the different watching experience, however, it also force the human being to face the digital age.
