本土发声——重探台湾声音文化脉络

NATIVE NOISE:A REASSESSMENT OF Taiwan Residents SOUND CULTURE

过去我们普遍认为,“声音”作为边缘的发声工具从未进入社会抗争的核心,而近几年,“声音”则慢慢变成一门艺术学科和有待整理的历史观点。某种程度上,“造音翻土”一展并非与声音艺术紧密关联,而是探讨声音的政治性在台湾曾经如何被排除,以及后来如何以“艺术”归类——最重要的目的则是这些史料所展出的“自由”。因为对台湾人来说,“自由”从来不是天上掉下来的。

In the past, sound was commonly understood as a marginal tool of communication that never entered the core of social struggles. In the past few years, however, sound is becoming an art field and a historical point of view in need of attention and analysis. To a certain degree, the exhibition ＂Altering Nativism＂ is not an exploration of sound art; rather, it explores the social position of sound-how Taiwan first censored its political potential, and later categorized it as a field of art. An important aim of the exhibition is to promote the freedom to present the exhibited works and historical documents. After all, for the Taiwan Residents people, freedom has always been hard-earned.
