“Soundscape Loudmouth” – the sound-based community art project. Through listening and observing, two teams of artists have collected sound and objects in the community of Tai Kok Tsui. From the hidden corner where the invisible connections maintaining the growth of energy among the individuals and communities, artists have revealed the ambient sound and stories in the dense district.

One of the teams is composed of artists Thomas Chan and Olive Leung. Don’t miss the seminar “Sound Art Sharing: Recall to replay” this Saturday (May 4th), presented by these two brilliant artists if you’re interested in learning more about their experiences in Tai Kok Tsui and interesting stories from their collaboration!

Sound as an art form resonates beyond expected borders to the unnoticed sonic relationship with the surroundings. Artists focus on the connections between sound and the theme of “magnifying the aural imagination” in the context of communities. The installation set in the Lab will showcase the found materials that pave a narrative form for visitors to experience the aural flow and process of interaction.

Another creative team is constituted of artists AK Kan and Peter Wong. It is heard that for this creation, they have been ”rolling back and forth“ in Tai Kok Tsui every day. Curious about what kind of artistic creation practices they are actually engaging in? Come to our exhibition next Saturday (May 11th) and participate in the seminar ”Routed Wheels & Illustrated Echoes“ to find out the answer by yourself!

Please sign up and reserve your spot at the registration link at least 48 hours before the event.

“Sound-Track: Routed Wheels” is an experience that subverts the conventional perspective on listening through a sound walk. Recording equipment is installed on the omnipresent trolley of Tai Kok Tsui, exciting auditory awareness through the progress of transportation. As the wheels roll, tracing their path, they collect a variety of sounds—from the hustle and bustle of the city to the whispers of the crowd. Participants are invited to become the loadings on the trolley, uncovering the loud and subtle aspects of life beneath the tracks.
