About works

Through diverse media works that cross boundaries between exhibition and performance, visual and auditory, he dissolves borders between sculptural language and music, exploring integrative and alternative forms of expression.
Based in ethnomusicology and music psychology, he examines how sound and music are consumed and instrumentalized or misused for specific purposes in history and society.
Utilizing acousmatic techniques that minimize visual information and maximize auditory imagery, he explores the experimental expansion possibilities of invisible media.
