嗶吐嗶 BE TUBE

作品論述

作品延續自「聲瓶系列」，以空氣吹拂瓶子發聲的原理，發出如笛聲的自製樂器。而「嗶吐嗶」則改變以往利用水位高低來改變音高頻率的方式，將無調性的音頻轉變成數十隻長短不同如排笛音階的方式，可發出固定的音高，利用馬達帶動吹嘴的擺動，使用電腦程式與觀眾互動，在現場即時編曲。

Art Statement

Piping sound is produced from a self-made musical instrument. It follows the same principle of ‘sound.of.bottles’ series which is to make sound by blowing air into the bottles. Instead of using the traditional method to change the high pitch frequency with different water level, beTube is able to produce fixed high pitches by changing atonal tones into several long and short pan flute scales. As the motor drives the wobble of the mouthpiece, the computer program can interact with the audience to compose melody instantly.

作者

王仲堃1982 出生於台灣高雄，畢業於台北藝術大學美術系及科技藝術研究所。他創造了各式各樣的機器，這些機器有著耐人尋味的單純性與獨特的美感，它們在感應觀眾靠近之際，不知疲憊地自顧自進行自己的運動，或發聲、或開關、或吐氣、或旋轉或叮噹，它們不僅僅執行簡單的單一動作，反之它們有著自己的節奏變化，既似頑愚，又似有靈。

Artist

Born in 1982, Taipei-based Chung-Kun WANG works across media art in the development of sound, sculpture, video, kinetic art and installation. He has created various forms of machinery that have consistently maintained an intriguing purity and peculiar sense of beauty. As viewers approach the work these machines operate on their own – making sound, switching on and off, exhaling, spinning or twinkling – each creation with its own variation of rhythm and multiple actions.
