„Re-flex-ion“ investigates the acoustic signature of space as compositional matter, deploying a dome-shaped multichannel audio system, interactive light emitter-detector system, and videographic projection to render spatialized listening as an aesthetic encounter. Across diverse cultural geographies the resonant properties of built environments and material objects have long structured auditory epistemologies: shaping perceived distance, mediating knowledge transmission, and structuring musical creation and communal exchange. The work utilizes five spaces as musical instruments and orchestrates over a hundred spatial configurations of each single space. Through aural perception the notion of time transforms into space, and Liu manipulates the temporal envelope of spatial listening, re-temporalizing the objects and inscribing new semantic layers onto their sonic ontology.
