What does voice from sky sound like?

par Mak Chau Ha

What does voice from sky sound like? You may get a taste of it through Tiffany Singh’s art project, Knock on the sky listen to the sound, which is exhibited in ‘18th Biennale of Sydney: all our relation’. In one of the installations at Cockatoo Island, I see hundreds of wind chimes suspending in outdoor space. They are arranged in layers according to the color gradation and there are totally 800 of wind chimes. The wind chimes are made of bamboo and in natural light brown; the painted colors are relatively bright and saturated. When there is wind, the wind chimes would create complicated sounds. The title is a Buddhist proverb which concludes Tiffany Singh’s feeling on a journey over the Himalayas where the sky felt so close that people felt like they can knock on it. Lire l’article →

Botanicalls Kit

When I first see Botanicalls kit in exhibition of Wikitopia, I asked if this is a piece of artwork but not just an invention. Would people define the creation of light bulb by Thomas Edision as art but not just invention?

After doing research about this, I realize that the kit is involved in a project called “Botanicalls” and The Museum of Modern Art’s Architecture & Design Acquisition Committee has approved the addition of Botanicalls to the MoMA permanent collection. Botanicalls is an ongoing collaboration between a group of artists including Rob Faludi, Kate Hartman, and Kati London. Lire l’article →
