We are entering a space full of barely perceptible, yet deliberately edited sounds and images. These sounds and images are like weak signals that cannot be transmitted completely or accurately. We can only supplement them through our own experiences and memories, or try to augment the limited external information by other methods and reorganise our indistinct visual and auditory consciousness.

“BAD CONNNNNNNECTION” is the first duo exhibition by Jacklam Ho Tsz-yeung and Li Hiu-wa. In addition to their experiments with space, creation, and forms of display, the works also show the artists’ recent bewilderments and obsessions.

In order to process the large number of photographs that he has taken in the past, Li Hiu-wa is in the habit of watching them in fast-forward mode. The irregular dynamic of this accelerated playback fragments each photograph’s momentary record, and brings them closer to just a bare impression. Jacklam Ho, on the other hand, is accustomed to changing the speed and rhythm of sounds, and thinking about how the audio player and its material work together in the representation of sound. In this way he constructs his soundscapes by changing the usual methods of representation.

Sounds and images are defined as the media of documentation and have even become our external memory. With the advancement of science and technology, sounds and images appear to be exhibiting some kind of “precision,” though in its essence documentation is inevitably distorted: it has always been but a fragment of reality.

我們正進入一個空間，那裡充斥著不被為意卻被刻意修改的聲音和影像。這些聲音影像如同微弱的訊號，未能完整、準確地被傳遞。我們唯有透過自身經驗和記憶去補充外在有限的訊息，或努力嘗試用其他的方法去摘取，把模糊的視覺和聽覺意識重整過來。

＜接收不良＞是何子洋與李曉華合作的首個雙人展，作品除了是二人對空間、創作與展示形式的實驗，更表現了他們近期的迷濛與執著。

李曉華在處理過去拍下的大量相片時，習慣以快播的形式觀看，無規律的動態形式播放磨碎了每一張相片的剎那記錄，使它們更接近一種印象。何子洋則慣以改變聲音的速度、節奏，並思考播放器和物料是如何相互配合呈現聲音，從而改變它慣有的呈現方法去建構聲景。

聲音和影像被定義為記錄的媒介，甚至成為我們的外置記憶。隨著科技進步，影像和聲音好像理所當然地展現「清晰」，但記錄在本質上無可避免地失真 ── 它從來只不過是真實的一部分。
