Zero Parameters Festival

Completing her mini residency at dai hall, Lee will present site-specific piece FERVĒRE, informed by walls and air in the space.
FERVĒRE consists of manifold formats and elements including spoken voice, electronic music, live performance and textual score, addressing a particular entanglement of racism and sexism on Asian female bodies with reference to the real-life events of Atlanta Spa Shooting and the case of artist Theresa Hak Kyung Cha.
Lee thematises homophonic translation and wild fermentation as metaphor for survival of trauma, ‘misheard voice’ and tells a story about a woman rising up to living again after a horrendous experience of violence. FERVĒRE examines ways of listening to languages and politics of inclusion, interrogating a diversity in languages through artistic context, encouraging audiences to reflect their own current cultural and political heritage.
Supported by the Minority Ethnic Artists Programme by Arts Council Northern Ireland.

Group exhibition by Anne-F Jacques, Yonago Tadashi, Muku Kobayashi & Bunchi in collaboration with Octopus Collective.

Anne-F Jacques: Incomplete Cleaner (2022). Recycling an old washing machine was a starting point for Anne-F and her collaborator Ryoko Akama whose approach was to experiment on a sculptural work they had never done before. The idea of this installation is the reuse of found materials and reawakening of meanings of these objects which are placed for a temporary period of time in a new environment. In this, sound, vision and architectural experience is equally important alongside a joyous humour. Each micro kinetic movement that seems unnecessary is inevitable for others to become alive, which is how any ecosystem is operated in our world.

Anne-F Jacques is a sound artist based in Montreal, Canada, interested in amplification, erratic sound reproduction devices & construction of various contraptions and idiosyncratic systems. Her particular focus is on low technology, trivial objects and unpolished sounds.

Bunchi: FM 97.6 - 98.9 MHz “A sound sculpture about finding a radio station that I used to listen to regularly. The signal stopped in between 97.6 - 98.9 MHz. This is a space time.”

CHAN cho kiu Bunchi (b.1990, Hong Kong) graduated from the Academy of Visual Arts of the Hong Kong Baptist University and currently lives and works in Japan. Her strengths are getting lost, walking, collecting "natural objects" produced by humans, then revealing movement and dialogue under the surface to imagine the invisible thread of all things. She works primarily in painting and mix-media installation.
Her exhibitions include "10 Years of ASP “ Soundpocket, Hong Kong (2021); “Sayonara Mark II” Toyota MarkII, Tokyo (2021); “Münster Sculpture Project in Sagamihara 2018” Kanuma Park, Tokyo (2018); and solo exhibition "Housewife Math” The Steak House Doskoi @ XYZ collective, Tokyo (2022); “Object Conference” Art Center Ongoing, Tokyo (2017).

Muku Kobayashi: Nyuu Fyu
A machine is in motion that seems to have some kind of function. Every time it is driven, it makes a noise, but the immediate sound has an unclear relationship to the purpose of the machine. The variations in movement are partly controlled and partly left to the behaviour of the objects. Each machine has the same shape and mechanism, but each seems to work stand-alone. On the other hand, their organic movements seem to have an ecosystem linked to each other. The machine's shape, colour and movement seem designed, though. Just as product design is designed with a clear intention for a certain matter, design must have a purpose. On the other hand, these machines continue to operate with their purpose suspended in the air.

Muku Kobayashi Born in Tokyo in 1992. Currently based in Kyoto, Japan. Completed Tama Art University’s Graduate Program in Information Design in 2017, and the Master’s course in the Department of Sculpture at the Graduate School of Arts, Kyoto City University of Arts in 2019. He creates works by observing the manifestation and deterioration of the characteristics of things when they are inserted into a certain organization or institution, or when they become complicit in the operation of such entities.

Yonago Tadashi: Things which make a sound sounded. Even if there was no any things which can listen it. Before we have appeared, and after we have disappeared even.

Yonago Tadashi is a trombone player, improviser, composer, engineer and maker of sound objects and instruments. He was a member of electronic ensembles SjQ and SjQ++. The latter received an Award of Distinction at Ars electronica 2013, in the Digital Musics and Sound Art section. Born in Japan, 1980.
