Remix 1.0 is an interactive sound installation developed from the idea of a sound mixer. In this work, however, the buttons and sliders of a conventional mixer are replaced by the bodies of the audience. As viewers move through the space, their movements alter the rhythm, pitch, and duration of the sound, turning the body into a means of engaging with sound.
The work grew out of the artist’s reflection on the act of listening in sound-based art. In many sound works, viewers or listeners often remain in a passive position, standing or sitting while receiving sound. Remix 1.0 invites the audience to move beyond listening and become active participants in the formation of sound. Sound is no longer presented as fixed playback; it continuously emerges through the relationship between movement, body, and space.
Through this work, the space becomes a mixer operated by the body. As viewers move, pause, approach, or withdraw, the sound changes accordingly. Remix 1.0 explores the relationship between sound, body, and space, while reconsidering the possibilities of listening and participation within sound art.
《Remix 1.0》是一件互動式聲音裝置作品。作品以「混音器」作為概念出發，但傳統混音器上的按鈕與滑桿在此被觀眾的身體所取代。觀眾在空間中的移動，將改變聲音的節奏、音高與長短，使身體成為創造聲音的方式。
這件作品來自藝術家對聲音作品中「聆聽」狀態的思考。在許多聲音藝術作品中，觀眾多半以站立或坐下的方式被動聆聽；《Remix 1.0》則試圖讓觀眾從聆聽者轉變為參與者。聲音不再只是被播放出來的內容，而是在觀眾的移動、身體與空間關係之中持續生成。
透過這件作品，空間成為一座可被身體操作的混音器。觀眾在其中移動、停留、靠近或遠離，都會使聲音產生變化。作品藉此探討聲音、身體與空間之間的關係，也重新思考聲響藝術中聆聽與參與的可能性。
