Dear All,

I am delighted to share with you that my work “In Which to Trust?” will be exhibited at the Smithsonian Hirshhorn Museum Level 3 during the Sound Scene 2022, June 4-5, 2022.

“In Which to Trust?” invites us to rethink our understanding of sound. This work comprises videos and sound captions by five aurally diverse listeners (an autistic listener, a deaf person using a cochlear implant, a hard-of-hearing person with tinnitus, a person with cochlear amusia, and a hearing person) revealing how the sonic sources—the acoustical energy—actually “sound” according to their diverse hearing apparatuses.

These differences between the sonic sources and the various captioners’ interpretations leave us a choice of what we should refer to when talking about sound: the objects triggering the sensations, our hearing apparatuses, or both? In which will you trust?

Kindly find the Press Release attached for more information about the artwork.

It would be an honor for me to have you at the exhibition if you are around Washington DC on June 4-5, 2022, and please do not hesitate to share this news with those who might be interested to visit my artwork and other artworks by amazing artists at the Sound Scene 2022.
