lololol

Building upon Light Keeper, lololol continues their exploration of resonance and perception through sound and technology. This performance activates signal receivers, vibration devices, and multichannel sound systems to attune to the turbulence of storms, transforming instability into a field of sensing where body and environment resonate within each other.

Drawing from field recordings of lighthouses, the ocean, and maritime instruments, lololol creates an immersive cartography of disorientation. The work navigates the threshold between signal and sensation, where echoes and pulses become wayfinding tools through shifting acoustic terrains.

By manipulating spatial sound and vibration, the performance turns listening into a form of navigation, inviting the audience to move through waves of resonance that blur boundaries between inner and outer space, between body and world.

lololol (Taipei) is a boundless laughter, an endless extension of lol (laugh out loud), an acronym that appears to be constructed by the building blocks of I-Ching and/or computer code. Founded by Xia Lin and Sheryl Cheung in 2013, the artist collective focuses on how emotions and body politics are informed by diverse technology cultures, with special interest in martial arts, materialist ontologies and Taoist-informed philosophies. “Future Tao ” is the group’s ongoing initiative to engage with Taoist mind and body practices as an alternative approach to technological exploration.
