Arm wrestling # 3 (a man and a woman), 2012
Site-specific interactive sound installation.
(Two radios, arduino, 2 radio-transmitters)
Presented at the collective show “On the boundery of sound” curated by Mark Jackson at the Nursery Gallery, London.
When arm-wrestling, two people break an initial balance in a play of physical forces. In this project, the arm wrestling is enacted each time by two recorded voices. Carrying different political connotations and embodying different degrees of powers, the voices expose the limits of communication. Here, the game is about hegemony in communication with each arm wrestle forming a metaphor for the tension and failures of the communication process. “Arm wrestling # 3 (a man and a woman)” is a site specific sound installation for two radios. One broadcasts a man’s voice, while the other that of a woman. They tell each other words whose connotations change according to gender.
