relativity +/- is an art project focus on the tiny change of temperature, this change can't be figure out via data or value by our physical sense,
For us, it's just a relativity perception. t is a series of experiments in various forms - sound, sound installations and audio-visual installation.

The slight changes in our daily lives are hard to detect; perhaps it is doable, but it is difficult for our senses to describe precisely these changes using numerical and quantitative
data. During the residency period in Tokyo, Chang Yung-Ta noticed that aluminum windows created a minute sounds due to its shrinking and expanding in winter. When these
shrinking and expanding happen because of the subtle temperature change, our skin is a great detector of the difference but it is unable to differentiate precise and subtle
changes—it can only be compared to one another. |

With a special heating device, the internal special structure undergoes a slight change of temperature, causes a contraction and breathing like rhythm. Under the relatively calm
exterior, a faint delicate sound pulsates. “Relatively +/-“ Raw has two metal heating devices, with one of these heating devices cut open to show the internal structure and state,
including the glowing red hot electric system. The other heating device keeps its original form, letting the audience directly see the heating and cooling as well as the changes is
sound due to this change of temperature. The heating device heats and cools with a loop of 17 minutes. When one of these heating devices heats up, the other cools down.
Two microphones, each recording the sound of a heating device separately, stream the two sets of sound into a pair of earphones so that the left ear and right ear are playing
contrary sounds. Two monitors display sounds and images of each heating devices that recording in a studio room separately. |

The subtle change in our daily life is not easy to be noticed. Maybe it might be, but it’s hard to figure out the actual value or the quantification absolutely. I noticed slightly crack
sound generated by the aluminum window frame during the residence in Tokyo, which caused by the expansion and contraction when the temperature changing in winter. It
happened when the temperature changing slightly, although our skin can feel the different of the temperature, but can’t figure out the precision value of changing. For the
human body, the subtle change is a kind of relatively feeling.
By heating and cooling the customized device which having a special designed structure inside, make it expands and contracts like breathing. It seems nothing happen outside
but there is very detail and interesting sound inside it, and then crack quietly. |
