Alex Chen on the possibilities of a line
The Best of the World's Creativity/Recorded 2013
A close reading, kept within reach.
Alexander Chen takes music & sound design as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in USA in 2013, the conversation is grounded in Alexander's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
Combining his love of music, drawing and coding, Alex Chen creates interactive works that turn chaotic things into something beautiful and charming.
