OFFICIAL OPENING & PERFORMANCE Thursday 20 February
from 17.30 hrs onwards

For the first new Foam 3h exhibition of 2020, the floor has been given to the artist Sheng-Wen Lo (Taiwan, 1987) with his project Extendable Ears.

In many of his projects Lo discusses the relationship between humans and non-humans in contemporary societies. In Extendable Ears he exposes himself to ultrasound waves, which have frequencies above the audible human range. In order to tackle the human-centric experience of noise, Lo created a wearable device that enabled him to hear ultrasound waves in the way that most pets do. Although it is proven that these waves can cause damage to animals, humans are unaware that they produce these ultrasound waves. For one month, Lo wore the device day and night, and captured his daily experiences as a test subject in videos, 360° photographs, and photographic scans of a dream diary he kept during his experience.
