obviously unthinkable

 

시나브로곡식이익어갈무렵도래우물에는안다로미청동이찰랑찰랑고이고고요한푸름을애오라지한마리왜가리가나르샤가로지를뿐이네.

Obviously Unthinkable is a series of live and participatory experiments and performances highlighting the interface between art and science by Instrument Investors.

In the forth opening of Obviously Unthinkable, participants immersed themselves in a synesthetic  experience of tea and various sonic interludes focusing on the microsounds. With Koenraad de Groot, Tjerk Stoop, Cengiz Arslanpay, Dmitry Gelfand, Evelina Domnitch, Sergey Shevelev, Tasia Kučan.

As the sonic accompaniment of oolong tea, Hyunsuh performed her poem. She focused on the articulation of Korean words whose pronunciation remind of sounds one makes when drinking tea, sounds of blowing, sipping, savoring. The elimination of spaces in the written poem demands that the readers read aloud, as did the ancient Greeks, Romans and Chinese. In addition, the poem is a string of associations and images inspired from the flavor and texture of the tea.
