Lost Communications 失絡之聲

About

An immersive visual and sound art experience

Created by an electronic musician and creative technologist. Lost Communications 失絡之聲 is at Norden Farm Centre for the Arts on Friday 19 July at 7.30pm. Tickets are £16 | £14 concession.

An-Ting and Ian Gallagher bring a live audio-visual performance immersing the audience deeply into the light and darkness of nature.

A fundamental property of the natural world is interaction and communication. Every species in an ecosystem contributes to the harmonious symphony that it is part of. We chose a long time ago to shut ourselves off from this, slowly at first, but with ever increasing speed, we have closed our hearts. We no longer hear the natural music around us.

Lost Communications is an exploration of art, nature and technology. Travelling from the UK, through Mongolia, Sichuan and Hong Kong, Ian and An-Ting have recorded the songs of birds as the musical expression of the environments they found themselves in. What might they tell us if we were able to hear?

An-Ting is a versatile artist who thrives in piano, electronic compositions and various other forms of artistic expression. Drawing from her life experiences, she weaves diverse encounters into her creation, blending music with other art forms to delve into the depths of the human experience.

Ian Gallagher studies Theoretical Physics at Edinburgh before completing a PhD in Complex Systems at Manchester University. He was heavily involved in the Manchester music scene as a sound engineer and gig promotor, as well as playing on stage. He helped found a digital agency before moving to London and becoming an independent app developer and entrepreneur.

Lost Communications is co-commissioned by Videotage (Hong Kong) and Treasure Hill Artist Village (Taiwan).
