Arnont Nongyao + CMC
Super Sound on Dream Street and Destroy Roadmap of Ants
This piece was developed from a soundwalking activity with Thatchatham Silsupan and the Chiang Mai Collective (CMC). We were recording along the streets of Chiang Mai after 6:00 PM, and we found bird-sounds occupying a traffic jam, changing the space and the feeling of people on the street forever.
Arnont Nongyao (1979) is a sound artist whose work concentrates on vibration. His practice investigates different means of searching for the value of vibration derived from connected things, such as human beings, objects and society. His works involve specific spaces and moments of audience participation. They are connected with the mode of listening and hearing in various social situations, and with how people interact with and participate in sound.
