Year



Jin Sangtae 秦相太





*This is a playlist of recordings from Jin Sangtae’s project ‘Year’
updated daily during the 2018 Bangkok Biennial (July 1 to September 31).




1. record 1 minute with your recorder. (in my case, usually, I record with my mobile)

2. upload that file recording to SoundCloud (that will upload on iTunes podcast at the same time)

3. do it again everyday.

It is difficult to find special moments in everyday life. Some days feel ordinary and no different from yesterday; while other days may feel more special. Over time, I have been doing a 1-minute recording every day; I have done this over and over again since October 2015. With this work, I might be changing my aspect of sound and way of listening, or I might be wasting my time. Anyway, I believe that I can make my own 'elements' about listening and some variations in sense. it seems like I am layering drawings overlapped onto a bunch of useless XY graphs. I'm walking where I call 'orbit.'



1. 錄製一分鐘的聲音(我通常採用手機錄音)

2. 上傳音檔至SoundCloud(同時上傳至iTunes podcast)

3. 每天重複以上兩步驟



並不是每天的生活裡都能找到特殊的時刻。有時候生活很平凡,和昨天並無區別;有些偶然的時候會感覺比較特別自從2015十月,我持續每天錄製一分鐘的聲音,至今每日反覆地這麼做。這個過程也許在改變我和聲音的關係和聆聽的方式,也或許,我只是在浪費時間。

無論如何,我相信我可以創造構成我聆聽經驗的元素和感知的不同變化。這個計畫就像是不斷地在無用的XY軸上累積一層層的繪圖,而我在我稱之為“軌道”的路上行走。


* 以上播放清單選錄秦相太的「年」,2018年曼谷雙年展期間的錄音(七月一日至九月三十日),將每日同步更新。
