Tong Niu + Iris Zhang + Neo (Jiapu) Gao presents ‘Null-Flux’
‘Null-Flux’ is adapted from an allegorical short story—“A Bit Louder”（NeoGao, 2023), with noise as the core topic and discusses the alienation of people as “social beings” in a fictionalized context. By using symbolic metaphors, the story delineates the psychological process of schizophrenia of individuals in the ‘social machine’ through the lens of labour life, social relations, desires etc. The work translates literature text into cross-media interactive expression and depicts the heterotopia fable as real-time audiovisual performance.
Tong Niu is a sound artist and deep-listening researcher, exploring marginalized voices and identities. Her work combines cybernetic-psychedelic aesthetics to transform sonic waves into polyphonic expressions. Utilizing spectral ethnography, she uncovers the therapeutic potential of sonic narration, connecting inner worlds to their environments. Her aim is to engage in dynamic dialogues with marginalized voices and historical relics, expanding into immersive storytelling spaces and crafting sonic narratives in soundscapes.
