All people should do nothing for a certain amount of time (around 20-30 minutes), and if you feel bored, just clap your hands.
About Ake：
Ake was born in 1990 in Haikou and went to Beijing after failing the high school entrance examination. He is now mainly engaged in site- and context-specific sound experiments, events, performances and installations, while also writing poetry. He is a waiter, musician and organizer of sorts. He co-curated the “Five Metals Microsite” series of live events. He is also the initiator and stopper of the nomadic space A2Space.
He tends to create works under limited conditions, based on exploring the specifics of their limitations, extracting the strength and existence of the phenomenon itself, and reaching the subtleties of life in a simple and direct way and through ambiguous and tortuous paths, sometimes without returning.
