Painàsonic

Painàsonic is a compulsive synesthesia research. It intends to transform the invisible sound into private, subjective, concrete haptic senses.

This installation transforms sound into electric current impulses with different amplitude and time densities. Depending on the sound’s loudness, the audience would feel from no-sense, to itch, pain and even spasm in one’s hand. (But it’s totally harmless.)

As the artist described: “However, this is just a listening interface of my sound art. My intention is not to “epater la bourgeoisie”, but make the audience re-listen and reconsider the sound and the emotions of others behind the sound. It’s like a magnifying glass for the audience’s own aural psychology.”

The content of the sound would be up to the specific exhibition site. The artist would have to record in advance.

Painàsonic是個強制共感synthesesia研究，意圖將無形聲音轉為純私密的，主觀的，具體觸覺感受。

此裝置把聲音被轉換為強度，時間密度不等的脈衝電波。隨著聲音的強度不同，聽者感受到的可能是從最小的無感，到癢，到麻，到疼痛，甚至會是讓人手指肌肉抽搐的強力電擊（但保證無害）。

然而，這只是我聲音藝術的一個聆聽輸出界面而已。我的意圖不在於驚嚇聽者來譁眾取寵，而是讓聽者在此全私人的環境下重新審視聲音及其後的他者感受，可以說是個在聽覺心理上的放大鏡。

聲音內容則由該展出城市而定，事先由藝術家錄製。
