The embodiment of language
Just as we spend much time looking at information through a smartphone daily without looking at the appearance and construction of the smartphone itself – we speak Cantonese and read words in Traditional Chinese characters every day in Hong Kong without spending much time to learn and to take a closer look at the language and the characters.
What if we look at a Chinese character as just a character, and listen to the pronunciation of a word as just a sound? What if symbols are completely disconnected from the usual way we form words into comprehensible sentences?

Etiquette: munch, chew, crush, bite
Audiovisual fixed media
Etiquette" is originally a sonic art piece that incorporates eating-related gestures, such as chewing and cutting food. The project aims to draw attention to the everyday sounds we often overlook. Narration includes quotes about eating from philosophers such as Plato, Heidegger, Pythagoras, Confucius, and Zhuang Zhou.
This video, based on the audio component of the "Etiquette" sound art performance, offers a different perspective on how great philosophers have thought about eating and food.

Hum
Voice with interactive visuals
"Hum" emerged from the composer's curiosity about the possibility of creating a solo a cappella performance. Vocal samples are recorded, analyzed, and processed in real time during the performance, with visuals generated in response. An iPad is used to control recording and sample playback.
"Hum" is a live audio-visual performance featuring a vocalist and an iPad. The singing voice is analyzed and interpreted live, then translated into visual elements.
