痕迹留下的音乐(和那些被排除在外的噪音)
听觉给我们带来了怎麽样的世界︖景观社会论者⾼度重视⽇常⽣活，资本主义的生产方式，新的消费形式以及媒体。在这之中，声⾳是城市感官中容易被忽略的⼀个部分。在如今城市化发展的过程下，透过标准化与计量化维持⽇常秩序，这样的环境把与之有关系的⼈和事件卷入，重塑，再⽣，进⽽磨平了差异。居住在某个城市的⼈在其城市特有的⽣活⽅式和消费⽅式中成长，依照该群体的身体机能⾏事，以及思考这种⾏为⽅式，都体现了该群体的⽂化规范。这样的文化秩序带来了怎麽样的声响？在此次展览中将通过关注城市日常生活中的节奏，秩序和错位，提供一种听觉体验，促使重新审视城市作为一个场所以及人与人之间的关系。光景系列透过算法，生成式音乐和图像记谱法由全景相机拍摄的录像结合心裡地图和节奏分析的概念来探讨光源的分配。行为轨迹和田野录音系列由日常观察，纪录，分析来呈现城市中的未被关注的节奏。通过声音，现成物件，行为表演，即兴，和考现学来对当下的城市生活环境进行再思考。
张孟泰，1990年出生于河北石家庄，毕业于纽约视觉艺术学院MFA纯艺术专业，目前在哥伦比亚大学的声音艺术专业学习。他的作品表现为一种矛盾性权力的隐喻，。他使用多样的媒介进行创作来挑战和质疑文化规范、审查制度以及个人与环境之间的交互关系。目前专注于声音如何解读劳动、空间和文化认知的历史和现象。
他曾在深圳“握手302”驻地，并于石家庄当代美术馆，
芬兰Aalto University（SMC研讨会），英国Hull University（Sound+Environment研讨会），深港建筑双年展，纽约ChaShaMa、Issue Project Room、Space Heater Gallery、Humble Arts Foundation、Ambient Church、Mise_en_PLACE和Fridman Gallery等机构展出作品。
Sonic Traces
Where does hearing take us? Influenced by the situationist movement, a small number of artists, scholars, and critics started to pay close attention to the capitalist mode of production, new forms of consumption, and media. Since the 1970s, soundscape has gradually been recognized as a sensory organ of the city. Urbanization, in its progress, utilizes standardization and quantification to maintain the mechanism of everyday, by which relevant people and events are implicated, remodeled, and thus shifted to horizontal planes. Residents of a city experience its characteristic customs. Their behaviors and modes of thinking embody the cultural norms of the location. Focusing on the rhythm, order, and displacement in everyday life, the exhibition provides an auditory experience that is prompting the body to reexamine the city as a site and interpersonal relationships. The works include sound installations, sculptures, moving image, and performative interaction, concerned with the simulacra of the order of cities. The Lightscape series incorporate computer algorithm, generative music, and graphic score, combining panoramic camera footages with the ideas of psychogeography and rhythmanalysis, to discuss the distribution of light source. The Locus of Conduct and field recordings series aim to bring attention to the neglected rhythms of the city, through everyday observation, documentation, and analysis. Sound, ready-made objects, performance, improvisation, and transducers are used as stimuli for a reconsideration of the present living environment of the cities.
About Zhang Mengtai
Zhang Mengtai (b.1990, China) is a current MFA Sound Art student at Columbia University, and MFA in Fine Arts at School of Visual Arts. His works appear as ambivalent allegories of power, where personal and sociopolitical factors encounter. He uses different media to create works that challenge and question cultural norms, censorship, and the interaction between individuals and the environment. Currently, he concentrates on how sound would interpret the historical and phenomenal representation of labor, space, and cultural recognition.
Mengtai has exhibited internationally, including MOCA Shijiazhuang in Shijiazhuang, Handshake 302, Art Shenzhen and Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture in Shenzhen, Space Heater Gallery, Issue Project Room, ChaShaMa, Humble Arts Foundation, Mise_en_PLACE, and Fridman Gallery in New York, and Sound and Music Computing conference in Espoo.
