The dragon as cinnamon twigs, as ephedra, as peony root, as dried ginger, as asarum, schizandra, penillia and a dash of honey-fried licorice. An aromatic recipe that is at the same time mythological, medicinal, and revealing of a cosmological order, and in this world, a performative score is vivid, ambiguous yet tangible, constantly changing, guided by a calculation of botanical powers, a dynamic design to restore estranged morality, to qualm an emotional flooding in the lungs, to shudder the sorrow that sprouts in stagnated waters, to keep dexterity and flow and mobility of life. A view of the body, in which forms are implicitly inferred to by relationships, resonates with a specific kind of expanded listening first introduced to me by a Chinese medicine shop owner, who offers poetry as his preferred form of remedy after intuited reading of one’s emotional and physical body. A key term here is wen (聞), a rather open sensory concept that is fundamental in traditional clinical practices—to smell, to hear, to intuit, to catch wind of. Little dragon soup is an exercise of abstract scoring, sound, and kinetics that speak to the body as a micro-universe. <img width="5623" height="3749" width_o="5623" height_o="3749" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a09471d1a34e49a7d7c9418579477846217a6353b0da466f71e438e4f77b19f5/DSC08735.JPG" data-mid="91922606" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a09471d1a34e49a7d7c9418579477846217a6353b0da466f71e438e4f77b19f5/DSC08735.JPG" /> &nbsp; 中藥處方、樂譜、實驗音樂原始版本由聽說委託2019 小青龍淹沒在洶湧的海浪中，以緩解水災。小青龍是桂枝、麻黃、牡丹根、姜幹、細辛、五味子、戊類和一些蜜炸的甘草。 小青龍植物配方，同時具有神話般的，藥用的和揭示的宇宙學秩序，在這個世界上，表現力得分生動，模棱兩可但有形，不斷變化，並通過計算植物力，動態設計來指導 恢復疏遠的道德，消除肺部的情感氾濫，消除在死水中發芽的悲傷，保持靈巧，暢通和生命的流動性。 <img width="3000" height="2000" width_o="3000" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9a1afa87678dc2769682450355f3e3103f1df2a544c5877b02f94cb1d8a63134/Little-Dragon-Soup-1.jpg" data-mid="91922602" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9a1afa87678dc2769682450355f3e3103f1df2a544c5877b02f94cb1d8a63134/Little-Dragon-Soup-1.jpg" /> https://soundcosmology.cargo.site/Clear-Waters-Green-Mountains-Mountains-of-Gold-and-Silver Sat, 12 Dec 2020 15:49:41 +0000 Sound and cosmology https://soundcosmology.cargo.site/Clear-Waters-Green-Mountains-Mountains-of-Gold-and-Silver <img width="2290" height="1484" width_o="2290" height_o="1484" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c1004b238cd6dfba4e4e9d9ae2071effe44adfa236294f87e9777074a3dc2876/Screen-Shot-2020-12-13-at-12.32.52-AM.png" data-mid="91919849" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c1004b238cd6dfba4e4e9d9ae2071effe44adfa236294f87e9777074a3dc2876/Screen-Shot-2020-12-13-at-12.32.52-AM.png" /> Clear Waters, Green Mountains, Mountains of Gold and Silver Earth, Fire, Plants, Scores, Experimental Music 2019 This project is informed by my residency in Yunnan where I observed the process of “green developments” as initiated by the state as well as by local farmer efforts. “Green development” strives to create new natural systems to replace old ones. The structural rifts generated in this process are often obscure yet deeply affect society, ecology, culture and even cosmology. Cheung’s work is not a direct answer to the structural rifts of society, but regards these point of change as opportunities to create a new cosmology. Cheung has worked alongside loca l shamans to develop an organic form of writing through her interactions with th causal chain of plant-medicine-herb-body-nature-society.Clear Waters, Green Mountains, Mountains of Gold and Silver is a “written” landscape that is best viewed while walking. This landscape has evolved from her research on botanicals and herbal medicines; it is an invented ideographic script system that engages indialogue with the Naxi Dongba script. Cheung’s other work, Fertility, Economy,and Power, uses 37 fables to explor the conflicting fields of ethnicity, culture, tourism, economy, and land fertility. These landscapes are counterpoints to those in Clear Waters, Green Mountains, Mountains of Gold and Silver, and begin with the fable of the cycle of life and death, collected by the artist in Yunnan’s Lashihai region. &nbsp;The artwork’s resemblance to fable problematizes the notion of fable as a “prehistorical” narrative mode. Through her field work, Cheung points out that fableis actually something that arises when the ecological cycle is drastically thrown out ofbalance. <img width="1910" height="1428" width_o="1910" height_o="1428" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bb02a03dee3c6c7db87644600795462bb7459661437c0ffe5a1ea6fd5b1d4c22/Screen-Shot-2020-12-13-at-12.36.15-AM.png" data-mid="91920093" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bb02a03dee3c6c7db87644600795462bb7459661437c0ffe5a1ea6fd5b1d4c22/Screen-Shot-2020-12-13-at-12.36.15-AM.png" /> 青山綠水金山銀山 土、火、植物、樂譜、實驗音樂2019 张欣的工作聚焦在她自2018 年起对于云南的“绿色发展”的具体观察和介入。绿色开发往往会发明新的自然体系来覆盖掉旧的自然体系。其中产生的结构性断裂常常隐而不显,却广泛影响到社会、生态、文化甚至当地宇宙学的层面。张欣的一系列创作并不是直接处理社会性的结构断裂,而是将各种断裂视为重新制作一种新的宇宙学的条件。张欣使用她自 2013 年以来从她与植物-药材-中医-人体-自然-社会的一连串互动中所发展出的有机形态的写作,与当地萨满共同工作。她探索各种云南纳西族的具体生态和文化场景,并找到一种身体内外互动的节奏感。张欣以在墙上写出的一片风景《绿水青山金山银山》必须边走边看,这幅风景从她对植物药材的研究发展而来,也是能够与当地纳西族的祭祀语言东巴文能够进行对话的开放式表意系统。张欣的另一件作品《肥力、经济、权力》以 37 篇类似寓言的结构呈现一系列她在当地所见的各种冲突的场域:族群、文化、旅游业、经济、土地肥力。这些风景和《绿水青山金山银山》相互对应,始于云南拉市海地带采集的生死轮回的寓言。在这里,环境被自然力量、汉文化、国家意识以及不可避免的现代化进程叠加影响,结果是一系列的纷争、妥协和牺牲。作品类似寓言的形式提出一个重要的问题:寓言往往被认为是“时间开始以前”的叙述模式。透过自己的田野实践,张欣指出,寓言实际上是生态循环极度不平衡的变动时刻都会产生的事物。 <img width="3000" height="2000" width_o="3000" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8ca85a39c6e83e8422dd8fb4dd15fbbcedb3d9ddf68bc688befde4ee01340536/_17A3518-HDR.jpg" data-mid="91920322" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8ca85a39c6e83e8422dd8fb4dd15fbbcedb3d9ddf68bc688befde4ee01340536/_17A3518-HDR.jpg" /> Installation at Long March Space 2020&nbsp;展覽現場，長征空間 2020 https://soundcosmology.cargo.site/Sun-Moon-Lake-is-a-Concrete-Box-1 Sat, 12 Dec 2020 15:49:42 +0000 Sound and cosmology https://soundcosmology.cargo.site/Sun-Moon-Lake-is-a-Concrete-Box-1 <img width="2134" height="1414" width_o="2134" height_o="1414" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d1c3da46f4c2ec12426dd4e3a6502a4f3aa45ed467dde9b05a592bc03c095dea/Screen-Shot-2020-12-13-at-12.07.03-AM.png" data-mid="91917176" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d1c3da46f4c2ec12426dd4e3a6502a4f3aa45ed467dde9b05a592bc03c095dea/Screen-Shot-2020-12-13-at-12.07.03-AM.png" /> Sun Moon Lake is a Concrete Box.&nbsp;Photo Courtesy of Hsin-Che Lee.

What is the drive that motivates us to prosper, to bloom, to preservere in this life of becoming? How can we sonically interpret this striving as a score of our lives? The idea of transbody is explored in Moon Tides I: Sonic Union, a ritualistic performance in which a plant and a human are united in a shared narrative of vulnerability and weakness. Internal sounds from the human and plant, such as breathing, digestion, breaking bones and branches and electromagnetic bio-feedback are used in a musical experience to create one sonic field of bio-rhythms. In this performance, the narrative of vulnerability and sadness reflects upon a general correlation between power and emotions. How does the energy of life embody a certain affective politics based on our vision of life affirming goodnesses? According to Spinoza, Joy and sadness are considered two poles of the emotional scale that determine the range of the vital melodic line; joy increases one’s power to act and persist in life; sadness diminishes one’s level of power. “Let us begin with a general mythology of sound. Imagine the most elemental technology in the world--the essence of life--the animating power that runs through all living things. This power is an intangible material with universal potential that suggests a shared disposition between all that appears to be separate. Like wind, it flows through different internal and external worlds, making the inner and outer one of the same. The ability for this power to connect different entities, spaces, and time gives it a narrating quality, bringing together different relations, changes and patterns to assemble a perspective of the world that differs from histories based on externality.” --Excerpt from Cosmopolitics of Sounds (2018) <img width="960" height="538" width_o="960" height_o="538" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a8dd0c41df881a302f2bc7fddd39c8514a8fac5d63a663948a32e2c68c5913c6/19989616_10203310626603261_7384520473938684380_n-1.jpg" data-mid="91926254" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/960/i/a8dd0c41df881a302f2bc7fddd39c8514a8fac5d63a663948a32e2c68c5913c6/19989616_10203310626603261_7384520473938684380_n-1.jpg" /> <img width="2500" height="1321" width_o="2500" height_o="1321" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5f054fe544f1abad5045cf9ce84d5710556837b19ce17d38d37b1b6340c8b3e5/06-2.jpg" data-mid="91926020" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5f054fe544f1abad5045cf9ce84d5710556837b19ce17d38d37b1b6340c8b3e5/06-2.jpg" /> 月潮植物、感測器、實驗音樂 2017 〈月潮〉以聲音表演的形式去探測超身體這個概念。這是一個儀式性的創作，結合植物和人類有關脆弱和悲傷的生命敘述。表演中用到來自人類和植物體內的內部聲音，例如：呼吸、消化、骨頭和樹枝的斷裂，以及植物的電磁反饋，創建一個生物節律的音場。 此作品試圖探問情緒的倫理，作品中描繪的生命能量是一種受情緒彈奏的內力。情緒為來自一種心靈的激情，喜樂和悲傷被視為情感尺度的兩極，決定生命旋律所遊走的範圍。斯賓諾莎說，快樂能增加一個人的行動力和對生命的堅持；悲傷則降低一個人的行動力和社會權力。這個說法是一個方便的自我方針，但似乎將願景侷限於有正負之分的時空。想像時空是無止盡蔓延的，所有方向都是一種前進。脆弱能驅動內在的潛在能量，在印度科學家伯斯（Jagdish Chandra Bose）對植物的研究中，發現適當的刺激可以促進植物的內在壓力，讓樹液更快傳送到成長的區塊。這種內流增長似乎印證生命中的陰性潛能，發動療癒、成長、綻放，這些肯定生命的跡象。<img width="960" height="635" width_o="960" height_o="635" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/204ca5b12768134dadf7391540fdb036591ad621027a96042bd76da6a362bd18/3_960_960.jpg" data-mid="91926017" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/960/i/204ca5b12768134dadf7391540fdb036591ad621027a96042bd76da6a362bd18/3_960_960.jpg" /> https://soundcosmology.cargo.site/Leap-2020-Sheryl-Cheung Mon, 26 Nov 2018 03:12:37 +0000 Sound and cosmology https://soundcosmology.cargo.site/Leap-2020-Sheryl-Cheung <img width="2480" height="1594" width_o="2480" height_o="1594" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d2ff32d697787cd3870734f698e232bb950b112448405eed1a9e36a66dc83d43/LEAP-SS2020-Sheryl-Cheung-01.jpg" data-mid="122780315" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d2ff32d697787cd3870734f698e232bb950b112448405eed1a9e36a66dc83d43/LEAP-SS2020-Sheryl-Cheung-01.jpg" /><img width="2480" height="1594" width_o="2480" height_o="1594" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/96764fb6199d838d70703b7501df02a6ce62b9a931f1994f1a5d858053a2ee51/LEAP-SS2020-Sheryl-Cheung-02.jpg" data-mid="122780316" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/96764fb6199d838d70703b7501df02a6ce62b9a931f1994f1a5d858053a2ee51/LEAP-SS2020-Sheryl-Cheung-02.jpg" /><img width="2480" height="1594" width_o="2480" height_o="1594" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/988b63a78ee9e571e392335debb3fd988feb2796c173b75e2deaf260435600f2/LEAP-SS2020-Sheryl-Cheung-03.jpg" data-mid="122780317" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/988b63a78ee9e571e392335debb3fd988feb2796c173b75e2deaf260435600f2/LEAP-SS2020-Sheryl-Cheung-03.jpg" /> https://soundcosmology.cargo.site/Silver-Torsoes Mon, 26 Nov 2018 02:11:48 +0000 Sound and cosmology https://soundcosmology.cargo.site/Silver-Torsoes Seven Bodies and the Talking Sea Post-Workshop Letter Sheryl Cheung [Tiger Mountain, Taipei] During our last iteration of meeting online, I am traveling up a mountain, the cellphone in my hand reflects the sunlight that peaks through the tree leaves, between the screen and the actual world, the bright surface of phantom faces discussing ideas about void, I lose track of my direction and where my feet is taking me. I am trying out another form of mobility amidst the many limitations to move, to move in parallel between surfaces allowing reflections to mangle, and perhaps, in certain moments, mirrors are able to bend their silvery torsos. This has been a year of creating spaces within crevices, curling inwards, inner climate change, she said, “sense your underskin, it’s like mist.” The unconscious emotional weight that water carries, rippling with the stylized flames in a Buddhist mural, depicting the fiery roar of the dragon serpent frozen in time. There is emptiness between the ripples, a null space between every glare, to situate freedom within this blank, is a choice to say no, and a refusal of calculation, a naturalized rhythm, A’s affirming metronome replaces my heartbeat, tik, tik, tik, tik. Our ventilation is clogged by a squirrel making its winter nest, in a bundle of twigs and industrial scraps, the squirrel digs into the hollow frame instinctively trying to make more room itself. The idea of re-embodying in a time when our bodies are so disjointed, to shapeshift by leaving every hindrance of doubt behind. In the Open Sea, I arrive at a talking boulder and a talking tree, and a man brushing off fallen leaves. To acquire the ability to listen, he says, one must cultivate a deep connection with the cosmic, aerial energy, and tune in to its way of moving. To breathe with, to project one’s spirit with the marrow of sun and moon, to warm with low fire the golden egg of the moon and cook with herbal dynamics of anti-covid tea. Heaven does not speak, it does not herd, but you can tune in for a different kind of inner listening for an immersion with the naturalized divine. <img width="2872" height="1130" width_o="2872" height_o="1130" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fd0a6a0aaabb139fded10179784dea32b2c7f0a85eb7d360c4948555e32b17a9/Screen-Shot-2021-11-28-at-2.04.57-PM.png" data-mid="125814758" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fd0a6a0aaabb139fded10179784dea32b2c7f0a85eb7d360c4948555e32b17a9/Screen-Shot-2021-11-28-at-2.04.57-PM.png" /> Scoring of Anti Covid Tea During this pandemic,&nbsp;the relevance of alternative covid remedies have been well pronounced&nbsp;in the form of herbal medicine, grandma’s recipes and conspiracy theories. These propositions, altogether disregarded as covid myths, are dismissed as unscientific and dangerous. In tiny circles, I begin to question the the merit of what we call myths today, and how a reconsideration of myth and medicine can encourage a renegotiating of our relationship with our surroundings and a reopening of the possibilities to reimagine a shift in the way we live and relate to the world when we come out of this pandemic. Scoring to me is a process of exploring the performative potential in materiality. I look for states of trembling, as the forming of clusters rely on chance. I move elements around until they make noise in my head, noise that makes time bend, diffract. In this residency, traversing different seas, I’ve gathered the breath of seven bodies and through workshop, attempted at attuning inner climates through a screen-based performance format. How do you mediate an affective action through the internet? It is more than audio and visual loss, it is dealing with another kind of body, the digital phenological body,&nbsp; how it senses and feels. In a time when our connections are dominated by webcam pixels, how can sound, light and poetry channel an immersive session of affection. Working with poems by Taoist Immortal Sister Sun Bu-er, recipes of Anti-Covid Tea, I work towards a web-performance to offer strength in today’s state of stagnated waters.&nbsp; <img width="2156" height="1216" width_o="2156" height_o="1216" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7d7843486f5fdfa0e5d07d056b8c6c41ed945fcf26b6d691cd6cb2d81002e462/Screen-Shot-2021-11-22-at-5.56.50-PM.png" data-mid="125295444" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7d7843486f5fdfa0e5d07d056b8c6c41ed945fcf26b6d691cd6cb2d81002e462/Screen-Shot-2021-11-22-at-5.56.50-PM.png" /> [Web-performance to debut on Dec 18, 2021] https://soundcosmology.cargo.site/CV Tue, 25 Oct 2016 06:26:28 +0000 Sound and cosmology https://soundcosmology.cargo.site/CV SHERYL CHEUNGSheryl Cheung experiments with the idea of the body as an instrument that is continually played by affects. Like an open, metabolic body, her sound palette is vulnerable and harsh at the same time. Sheryl works between experimental music, abstract scoring and writing to explore a materialist understanding of power, emotion and moral order. Her recent research focuses on sound and medicine through the perspective of Chinese ontology.Sheryl earned her Master of Arts from University of Manchester (2009) and her Bachelors of Fine Arts from Pratt Institute (2005). She has held supported residencies, workshops and research projects in China, UK, Thailand, Korea and Taiwan. Her work, performances and collaborative projects have been shown at Flaneur Festival 2019, Bangkok Biennial 2018, Taipei Biennial 2018, Asian Meeting Festival, Somerset House studios, Osmosis Festival and Chronus Art Center, among others. Sheryl is a co-founder of lololol.net, an art project that is currently exploring Taoist-informed mind and body technologies. She currently lives and works in Taipei, where she is an independent artist and writer. 張欣的聲音像是頗開的生命體，同時間暴力且脆弱，裸露地展現內部運動中情緒、力量和道德之間的複雜關係。受斯賓諾莎和道家哲學所影響，將身體視為一個持續被情感彈奏的樂器，體內外世界有著普世的聯結和呼應。近期進行中的計畫以聲音的角度去理解亞洲醫學系統的身體詮釋。畢業於曼徹斯特大學碩士，經常受邀出演個人或合作項目。於中國、泰國、韓國、英國、台灣等地進行駐地創作和研究項目，並獲得2018年香港畫廊的海外駐地資金。作品發表於曼谷雙年展、Asia Meeting Festival、世界文化宮、桑默塞特府工作室、滲透藝術節等平台。張欣是藝術計畫lololol.net的共同創辦人，目前協力進行的Future Tao項目關心道思想所發展的身心技術之當代面貌。 CURRICULUM VITAE EDUCATIONMA University of Manchester BFA Pratt Institute&nbsp;
