How can the “body” serve as an archive, a kind of active cultural evidence, and establish a methodological and practical possibility in the Southwest region? In the first session, the artist Zhou Bin’s practice from creation to the creation of the performance art archive will be the focus, explaining the direction and strength of performance art in social practice through the universality and disparity in the history, geography, and cultural perceptions of the relationship between individual creations and performances.
It is centered on the following four issues
- The origin of the shift to performance art creation.
- How does the “body” develop corresponding/different actions and creations under the digital media technology?
- What are the humanistic and regional characteristics of Chengdu as a place where performance art is active, differentiating it from other cities in China or internationally?
- How to define the nature and social function of documents and archives of performance art?
“Neurological Diversity —— Music therapy for children with autism Neurodiversity”
Keywords: Music, Therapy, Special population
Speaker: Wang Lujie
“Neurodiversity” in this conversation refers to special populations. Among the groups with mainstream physiological patterns, “diversity” refers to the degree of “plurality” and the possibility of social awareness. In the second session, based on the field of music therapy, which integrates medical, psychological, and acoustic therapeutic means, we learn how music therapist Wang Lujie develops the application of music technology in her clinical practice with children with autism, from the connotations of the dual specificities of physical signs and social groups, in order to provide the methodology and imagery of diversified artistic and social actions.
It is organized around the following three questions
1、How to recognize the autistic group of children from the intrinsic relationship between society and the profession. 2、How to understand “neurodiversity” from the clinical experience of music therapy.
3、The current situation and methodology of music therapy in autistic children from the perspective of neurological and physiological mechanisms of the brain and body.

As a material image of physiology, sound becomes another kind of external perception that feeds back to the conscious subject. In the city of Chengdu and its surrounding public environment, the site of sound is not only a phenomenon of individual creation, but also a real life pattern based on the presence of the body.
In the third session, we started the conversation with a semi-improvisational approach by initiating two short behavioral scenes.
Li Kun invited the composer Mao Zhu to join him, and through sound, the duo’s live behavioral interactions were used as immediate feedback for sound writing and placed in the time of action and the program of sound memory.
Li Kun used a microphone and a plastic bag to experiment with the wind movement of a hand-held fan, repeatedly observing and resting the sonic shape of the sound in space and its departure from its original form.
It is centered around the following 3 questions
1、 How does sound as a mode of behavior in the Southwest region unfold in their respective creations and practices?
2、 How is the technical treatment of sound memory related to the history of the society?
3、 How does the body, as a medium of sound communication, exercise its judgment in their respective experiments?
