| Explanation | An Jungju is an artist from Gwangju in Korea. He specializes in making film works based on superior rhythms, producing musical rhythms through his films. This piece features recordings of musical notes sung by 45 students who attend piano school and the video of each child singing. When viewers play a note on a keyboard, the image and sound of the child singing that note is played on a monitor and speakers, in this way the audience can perform music. The pitch of the note being sung might seem off-key to the audience/player. This artwork makes clear that each person has a different sense of pitch, encouraging us to think about how it is difficult to communicate through sound. |
