Xuan Liu's studio work has largely focused on analogue and digitalaudio technologies, sculpture, video,performances and eventproductions. She works individually and collaboratively to explorenotions and conceptsof the merging of noumenal experience andfiction, negotiating between the human body's sensoryepistemologyand the development of sound technology, contemporary spiritualismand ritual, expanded theatreand improvisation.Her creative system is inspired by the Buddhist concept of sym biosis.As a researcher, Liu Xuan has an ongoingobservation of the relationship between the work, the audience, and her self as an artistin the exhibition spaceusing public participation to trigger the flow ofsound energy. She views this series of mixed-media works asaseauence of sound events presented as open-ended structures, within which she searches for soundconnections: ontological, fictional, hierarchical, symbiotic, heterogeneous, controllable anduncontrollable. Theartist also views such events as single and serialexperiments, enjoying the various uncontrollable parts oftheexhibition and performance process that lead to the intervention andproduction of relationships while predetermining the rules ofparticipation in advance.
