Ping Sheng is a Taipei-based artist whose creative process focuses on sound. His practice takes on a variety of forms including music and soundtrack composition across a number of genres, from experimental and ambient to rock and roll, with live performance and sound installation being a primary focus. The field of visual arts has been a long-held concern in his search for how sound expands and extends through the senses. Through observations of sound as a physical property of an environment and as an object of analysis through digital processing, he has continued to re-encounter senses of sound as it is naturally or artificially translated and substituted in various forms of media.

居住於台北的藝術家，主要以聲音為創作思考的中心。聲音作品跨足電子噪音、環境音樂、搖滾、電影配樂，並熱衷於現場演出與聲音裝置。長時間在視覺藝術領域探索聲音在各感官上的拓展與延伸。透過觀察聲音在環境中的物理性，或是以分析經由數位處理的聲響，不斷地重新認識聲音在各種媒介之間自然或人工的轉譯與代換。

작가 소개
핑셍(Ping Sheng)은 소리 예술가이며 타이베이를 기반으로 활동한다. 그는 소리와 관련된 다양한 예술 활동을 하며 소리 설치 작품, 영화음 악 작곡, 소리 실험과 전기음향 라이브 공연 등을 펼쳐 왔다. 그는 음 악 작곡에 필요한 아이디어를 얻기 위해 일상의 소리에 집중하고 그러 한 경험으로부터 얻은 소리의 발전을 탐구한다. 그는 디지털 처리기법 으로 주위 환경의 물리적 소리를 관찰 분석하여, 새로운 미디어에 의 해 자연적 소리와 인공적 소리 사이로 옮겨진 소리의 ‘비전’을 지속적 으로 확장해왔다.

Max Cooper is an electronic composer, multi-disciplinary artist, music label founder and former scientist who has carved out a unique space in music and visual art.

He holds a PhD in computational biology at the same time as being the first contemporary electronic musician to perform at the ancient Acropolis theatre in Athens and one of the first clutch of musicians to produce in Dolby Atmos.

Cooper has enquired for over 15 years through music, collaborations, and his label Mesh, to explore the intersections between the arts and sciences with installations, performances, immersive experiences, online media, music videos and live events.  Anchored throughout is his emotive approach, connecting how ideas and forms feel, in a manner accessible to us all. 
 
As an artist synonymous with the evolution of club culture, Cooper honed his craft as a DJ with a 10 year residency at legendary Midlands techno event Firefly where he formed a foundational relationship with Architecture Social Club, with whom he still collaborates on extravagant immersive installations.

"I want to encourage the acceptance of electronic music as an art form like any other. Bringing electronic music and abstract audio-visual projects into concert halls, museums and galleries is liberating - the art world opens up doors to communicate in ways that aren’t possible elsewhere."
  
Pivoting from computational biology to electronic music might not seem like the most natural career transition, but for Cooper the commonalities are obvious:
 
"In both fields, you're in a sense, free. Free from the limits of living systems, free from the limits of corporeal sound. The only constraints are in your mind."
