Junya Oikawa (b.1983 in Sendai, Japan) live in Karlsruhe Germany.
“Junya Oikawa transforms his own voices using electronic sound. His lip-noises turn into the howls of beasts, voices of women (or others), blasts of wind, and so on. Sound is first positioned and arranged in a space materially, and it moves around the acoustic field constructed with multiple audio sources (speakers) in a violent and a flexible way, bringing virtual sceneries and meteorological phenomena into sight. In the dark room, the audiences experience the feel of the body taken afar, together with the feel of air carved as a sculpture followed by the crack of the space by sound generation."
(Review: Yuko Hasegawa, MOTchief curator )
