AUDIO LOTUS

A walking sound sculpture created for the MOBILE M+: inflation! Exhibition.

ESKYIU collaborated with sound artist Wong Chung-fai (aka Sin:Ned) on “Audio Lotus [seed]” – a walking sound sculpture. The event installation was created as a response to Choi Jeong Hwa’s black sculptural lotus flower entitled, Emptiness is Form. Form is Emptiness at the “MOBILE M+: inflation! A (CON)TEMPORARY SCULPTURE PARK OF INFLATABLES” exhibition at West Kowloon. The “Audio Lotus [seed]” walking sculpture is inspired by Benoît Maubrey’s “audio peacock” and Choi Jeong Hwa’s work.
