‘Since the 1970s, sound and music have played a significant role in the art world, particularly within the Fluxus movement,’ says Ho. ‘The intersection of sound and art has created an exciting space for experimentation.’ Advancements in digital technology have also inspired new possibilities, with many artists now creating immersive environments for audiences using moving images, sound, music, light, movement, and design.
Berlin-based Chinese artist and composer Pan Daijing, who will be headlining Artists’ Night, is a prime example. Traversing multiple disciplines, she is known for her haunting operatic performances imbued with fragility, despair, and undertones of violence. Her visceral, site-specific work combines visual art, opera, theater, dance, and music. She has made a name for herself both as a musician at festivals across Europe (among them CTM and the London Contemporary Music Festival) and as an artist who has exhibited and performed at venues including London’s Tate Modern and Palais de Tokyo in Paris. However, her practice is not widely known in Asia, she had a solo exhibition at Tai Kwun Contemporary in 2021 and participated in the Shanghai Biennale in 2021 and Gwangju Biennale in 2022. Ho says the team hopes to expose Asian audiences to Daijing’s work through an outdoor installation and the inaugural performance of an audio-visual concert responding to the themes of ecology and spirituality.
