About the Performers
Wang Fujui 王福瑞Wang Fujui is one of the pioneers of Taiwanese noise and digital art. After studying at Golden Gate University in the 1990s, WANG returned to Taiwan and founded “noise”, the island’s first publication and label dedicated to the new music. In 2013 he had a solo exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Taipei, Hypertransmission. He has performed all over the world including at the Re-Opening of Queens Museum in New York and at Ars Electronica Center in Niels, Austria.
1990 年代噪音及前衛聲響的引進者之一，台灣傳奇噪音雜誌「NOISE」主辦人，現任職於北藝大，不少學生在其鼓舞下投入聲音藝術領域。近年演出及展覽頻繁，往來香港、日本、美西與澳洲，作品融合電子脈衝聲響與直勾耳膜的高頻噪音，加上動態凜冽的幾何影像，十足未來感，細緻的氛圍中不失狂野與暴力。 soundwatchtw.blogspot.tw/
Noise Steve 陳史帝Influenced by the rave parties popular in Taiwan at the end of the 1990s, Chen and some friends began to organize a series of do-it-yourself, guerrilla-style raves in such locations as a hair salon and outside a roast duck shop. After viewing the noise art performance Static Riot by Wang Fujui, Chen decided to change course and pursue noise art. In 2002, Chen co-founded the Malt Fermentation Workshop in Taichung City, one of very few venues promoting experimental electronic music outside the capital city of Taipei. The group organized Taichung’s first noise art festival, Electroacoustic Counterattack.
1990 末期，隨著 rave parties 在臺灣漸受歡迎，陳史帝和幾個志同道合的朋友在本地的髮廊，甚至烤鴨店門口開始組織起一系列的革命性原創。在無意中觀賞了王福瑞的noise art 表演 Static Riot 後， 陳史帝決定更換方向，開始研討有聲藝術。 2002 年，在台中合創了Malt Fermentation Workshop，也成為首都臺北外最能發揚實驗電子音樂的場所。他們主辦了台中的第一屆有聲藝術節: Electroacoustic Counterattach。
