Material sound is sound sculptures Jing created in 2020. She questions the relationship between technology and nature. She was try to capture the fluidity of images of natural objects and use algorithms to generate sound. The audience can interact with the cd Box by moving the installation.
All materials are constantly changing and moving. Life is like a complex set of materials, containing the algorithms of nature and chance. They remain in a state of infinite and constant self-healing at the microscopic level and are forever in motion.
