Lets take a walk together: Back in 2020, Andrew Yang and I were the inaugural Artists-in-Residence at Yale-NUS College in Singapore when COVID hit. Museums and studio spaces were closed indefinitely, and like many we found refuge in daily walks. It was not what anyone had planned for - but offered a rare opportunity to experience the city free of tree trimmers and cars, instead repopulated with the persistence of non-human life. We mixed recordings of that traffic-free tropical soundscape with narration to create five multisensory audio outings reflecting on interspecies interconnectedness, climate breakdown, and presence.
These sonic meditations were just re-released as QR-coded postcards for the exhibition "Magic Hour" and the book "Magic: Art Practices at Yale-NUS College." It's a bittersweet treat, commemorating the vibrant creative community of a great institution that will sadly close at the end of this semester.
Revisiting them now from the snowy fields of Massachussets is a surreal portal to another time and place. Transform your own wintry walk at https://soundcloud.com/.../listening-through-the-landscape
