Artwork Title｜Share Your Auditory Story of Hong Kong (2025)
Form｜ Participatory Sound Installation
Artist｜ GUI Ren
Technical Development｜ Parakrant SARKAR
This participatory sound work invites the audience to contribute their own auditory memories of Hong Kong. Visitors can scan a QR code linking to the project site (sonic-transitions.onrender.com), where they may upload a sound recording (under 10MB) or record their reflections in real-time using a mobile device.
All submitted sounds form a collective sound archive of the city, capturing diverse personal and environmental sonic experiences. On the exhibition screen, these recordings are played back in two ways: automatically cycling through all submissions, or interactively by clicking to hear individual contributions.
In addition to digital uploads, visitors can also handwrite their sonic memories on physical cards available at the exhibition site. These written reflections are displayed alongside the sound archive, offering a tactile and contemplative way to engage with the work.
The work transforms audience members into co-creators, fostering shared listening and multi-layered understandings of place through everyday sound. By merging digital participation with public presentation, the installation explores intimacy, memory, and urban resonance.
此觀眾參與式聲音作品邀請觀眾分享他們對香港的聽覺記憶。參與者可掃描 QR 碼連結至網站（sonic-transitions.onrender.com），上傳手機中小於 10MB 的錄音，或於現場即時錄製聲音片段並提交。
所有上傳內容將匯集為一份關於城市的集體聲音檔案，涵蓋個人經歷、環境聲音與日常聲響。在展場的螢幕上，這些聲音會以兩種方式播放：自動循環播放所有內容，或由觀眾透過滑鼠點擊選擇單一聲音進行聆聽。
除數位參與外，觀眾亦可現場書寫卡片，分享他們記憶中的聲音片段或感受。這些手寫文字將陳列於聲音裝置一側，成為展覽的另一層感知與參與方式。
作品鼓勵觀眾成為共創者，透過聆聽實踐與多層次聲音參與，打開對城市、記憶與身體感知的思考。它結合數位參與與現場展示，呈現一種既公共又親密的聲音交流形式。
