Remediation Ensemble
Dimension Plus

Japanese sound artist Ei Wada and Hong Kong media artist Keith Lam expand the definition of electrical appliances. In this peculiar ensemble of everyday objects, "old" media are given a new life as musical and visual instruments to cook up a mixed-media musical rhapsody alongside musician Akira Ataka, local rapper Gold Mountain and drummer Kittlau.

CRT-TVs turned drums, barcode scanners turned musical instruments… Ei Wada's unique and electrifying music reimaginations have captivated audiences worldwide. Underneath what appears to be a "kuso" at first glance lies the rebirth and tribute to old electrical appliances. Keith Lam, known for his works conceived through the concept of remediation, is bringing back his previous works that nod to the readymade works of Nam June Paik and Marcel Duchamp. In addition, Remediation Ensemble introduces new musical and visual instruments devised from neon signs, revisiting the essence of digital and analogue technology, and transforming the brand-new performance venue into a heterogeneous dimension.

Remediation Ensemble is the finale performance of ProjectPlayaround. This world premiere is also the first performance to be hosted at The Theatre of the East Kowloon Cultural Centre.

Remediation Ensemble is one of the “Unbox EKCC” programmes of the East Kowloon Cultural Centre & one of the contribution programmes of The 4th Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Culture and Arts Festival
