These are previews of all the audio clips from the installation 'A Hundred Seas Rising' by Suki Chan. 'A Hundred Seas Rising' will be at Aspex from 19 May until 2 September. 

Inspired by Dicken’s novel, A Tale of Two Cities, A Hundred Seas Rising explores how literature might be implicated in the imagination and trajectories of revolutions. The installation will use the sound of 100 individual voices as a sculptural material, re-imagining Dicken’s revolutionary mob sonically by creating surges of ideological thought that reverberate across the gallery space.

A Hundred Seas Rising is part of RELAY: Contemporary art in the South East of England commissioned in response to London 2012.  A partnership project between: Aspex, Portsmouth; Space, Creative and Cultural Industries Faculty, University of Portsmouth; and Quay Arts, Newport, Isle of Wight.  It is funded by TPSE (Turning Point South East), Arts Council England, Portsmouth City Council, University of Portsmouth and is part-funded by the European Union.
