‘Null-Flux’- A Bit Louder

The work is adapted from an allegorical short story—“A Bit Louder”（Neo Gao, 2023), with noise as the core topic and discusses the alienation of people as "social beings” in a fictionalized context. By using symbolic metaphors, the story delineates the psychological process of schizophrenia of individuals in the ‘social machine’ through the lens of labour life, social relations, desires etc. The Null-Flux translates its literature text into cross-media interactive expression and depicts the heterotopia fable as a real-time audiovisual performance.

The audio vocal sampled the highest ten search keywords from various departments of the medical industry across continentals, read by an AI speech program with turbulent toned and rhythmed patterns. Sythcrinized with real-time interactive camera imaging, the multilingual vocal gradually crooked its tones and segmentations, forming a data poem emanating in its grotesque life cycle.
