「造聲」總共展出十件聲音裝置作品，包含以箱匣式的《開箱作業》系列五件，以及全新發展出的大型聲音互動作品《聲牆》系列三件，兩件獨立的小品創作《三十一迴圈》、《傾倒時刻》。其中除三件《開箱作業》為舊作，其餘七件皆是全新創作。此次展出作品「聲牆」則將聲音製造的過程以電子線路裝置呈現出來，讓觀者得以一窺聲音製造的流程。另外，創作者有感於創作過程許多不同領域知識及資源皆從網路開放平台取得，所以在這次展覽中也安置了一張屬於製造者的工作桌，試圖將製造過程透明地坦承在觀眾前。
The solo exhibition showcases ten sound installations, including five chest-styled works from the Sound of Suitcase series, three newly developed, large-sale interactive sound installations from the Sound Wall series, and two smaller, independent works, Loop31 and Falling Moment. Among these works, seven of them are new works, whereas, three are old ones from Sound of Suitcase. In the exhibition, Sound Wall shows the circuit of sound-flow in a way that electronic instruments are connected, and affords the viewers a glimpse of the mysterious procedure of sound production. In addition, when making his works, the artist has to employ knowledge of different fields to make artworks with the media he uses. Because the knowledge mainly comes from open resources on the internet, he also recreates his work space in the exhibition in the attempt to reveal the process of his creation to the audience.
王仲堃 WANG Chung-Kun
1982年出生於台灣高雄，畢業於台北藝術大學美術系及科技藝術研究所，是台灣近年科技藝術的生力軍，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。
Born in Kaohsiung, Taiwan in 1982, WANG Chung-Kun graduated from the Department of Fine Arts and the Graduate School of Arts and Technology. WANG is one of the rising stars in media art in Taiwan. He has created various forms of machinery that possess an intriguing purity and peculiar sense of beauty. These machines operate on their own as viewers approach, making sound, switching on and off, exhaling, spinning, or tinkling. Each creation does not simply perform an unchanging action; contrarily, they all demonstrate varying rhythm that is persistent and lifelike.

如古典音樂盒的變奏，讓人看到工業社會裡的日常聽覺、視覺經驗，透過改造、模擬、拼裝，讓聲音的生產過程被視覺化，而成為一場微型的奇觀展演
入圍理由 Comments from Nomination Committee
展覽呈現藝術家從2006年開始專注於發展的機械聲音裝置，除了多年來的《開箱作業》系列作品外，也包括大型的聲音互動裝置。當箱子或物件隨著觀眾感應而打開、敲擊、發出令人會心的聲響，有如古典音樂盒的變奏，讓人看到工業社會裡的日常聽覺、視覺經驗，透過改造、模擬、拼裝，讓聲音的生產過程被視覺化，而成為一場微型的奇觀展演，連帶使得原本無趣的機器，忽然展現了優雅和超現實的姿態。在這裡，發聲與聆聽不只是時間的過程經驗，同時也是物質、身體極具詼諧的接觸即興。藝術家無疑的在此呈現他的發明樂趣，以及為聲響藝術拓展的新疆界。(主筆／吳瑪悧)
The exhibition features the mechanical sound installations the artist has been attentively developing since 2006. In addition to the series, sound.of.suitcase, which the artist has been expanding for many years, the exhibition also includes large interactive sound installations. When the box or object senses the audience, it opens up and starts beating, creating intriguing sounds that remind people of the musical variations of classical music boxes. The work enables us to perceive the everyday audio and visual experiences in an industrialized society. Through re-modification, simulation, and assemblage, the production of sound is visualized and creates a miniature performance of spectacle, simultaneously transforming dull machines into elegant and surreal existences. In the exhibition, sound and hearing are not some process experienced in time, but also amusing and spontaneous contact with material and body. Without doubt, the artist has demonstrated the fun of his invention as well as expanded the field of sound art. (Commentator: WU Mali)
