borrowed oscillogram of heart and breath from a patient in a hospital. The curve moving on top demonstrated the heartbeat and that on bottom revealed the breath. Covered with stave printed on a transparent sheet, the vibrating lines passed through the centre of the screen and their positions on stave became consequently recognizable to pianist who then played these notes as a piece of music. The video was made initially alluding to the relationship between consciousness and unconsciousness, as well as culture and physiological state.

I got the vibration oscillogram of a patient’s hearth and breath for 5’20” in the hospital.
Overlap the selected oscillogram with the staves.
Set the notes in the saves according to the vibration of the heart and breath.
A pianist played according to “the notes on the staves.”

在醫院獲取5分20秒病人的心臟和呼吸的波形圖,在波形圖上重疊五線譜,按波動的曲線在五線譜上的位置讀譜,由鋼琴師按“譜上內容”演奏成曲。

《與生理狀態有關》取材自某醫院對一位生命垂危的病人的心跳和呼吸的監控數據曲線。錄像的畫面上方移動的曲線是該病人的心率;下方起伏波動的線顯示了病人的呼吸狀況。在這兩段曲線上覆蓋一張透明的五線譜,當波動著的曲線經過屏幕中央時,曲線在五線譜上的位置就是讀譜的依據。由鋼琴師根據“譜上內容”演奏成曲。作品最初的動機涉及到意識與無意識、文化和生理的關系。
