Publisher Note english german
In a very atypical manner, this work magnifies a euro cent to the size of a CD 3”, before attaching it to a booklet of nervous pencil sketches by the same author. There have been as many as 98 combinations of launches of the mentioned coin - a fact reflected in the 98 micro-tracks on this album. Draw Sound is an interesting project by Germany-based Malaysian artist Goh Lee Kwang is accustomed to electroacoustics and improvisation, often prone to both natural and recorded sounds.
This work is a reflection on the timing of the events, which have been repeated at different points but always end in the same outcome, an overlapping of instantaneous snapshots, a narration of how a simple gesture can be reproduced endlessly and become, finally, a scary clone of reality. It is only 8 minutes and 40 seconds duration, but it can seem a lifetime, 'acting out' purely conceptual 'art' - Baudrillard would say - 'culminating in banal tautology', here and now.
"The relationship with the work belongs to the sphere of contamination, or of the infection: you connect, absorb, plunge, as in the flows and networks".
(Aurelio Cianciotta)
