SPECIAL EVENT

ArtScience Encounters: Threshold by Louis Quek

In Threshold, sound artist Louis Quek proposes futures where boundaries and margins dissolve, existing instead in a perpetual state of endless transitions.

Within a sonic landscape shaped by subtle shifts in tone, subharmonic vibrations and spatial resonance, Quek creates an environment where divisions lose their hold: between centre and periphery, sound and silence, self and surrounding. These fleeting moments are reimagined as potential sites for transformation, uncanny stillness and radical presence.

The installation unfolds as a space to drift, notice and recalibrate — inviting us to reflect on how we listen, and how a world in flux might also be a world of possibility.

About the Artist

Louis Quek is a Singaporean sound artist and sound designer who navigates multiple realms simultaneously, exploring the intricate interplay between sound, space and perception. Based in Singapore, his practice expands from a foundation in electronic music into art installations, films, theatre productions, and cross-disciplinary collaborations.
 

Quek’s work spans contexts from experimental performance to corporate campaigns. Driven by a passion for sound design as both craft and inquiry, each project extends his vocabulary and forges new dialogues between his sonic world and its transformative possibilities.
 

Under his alias Intriguant, Quek has released solo works and collaborated widely across disciplines — integrating ambient textures, immersive spatial design and cross-media experimentation.

ArtScience Encounters: A Sonic Walk with Louis Quek

14 Nov 2025 (Fri), 8pm – 9pm 
Gathering Point: Anteroom, Basement 1  
Ticketed Experience: S$5  

 

What boundaries dissolve when we listen deeply to spaces, to each other, to the unseen?

 

In this guided walk, sound artist Louis Quek invites participants into a slow, contemplative journey shaped by the textures of the everyday. Drawing on principles of deep listening and sonic poetics, the walk encourages a porous mode of attention, one where listening is more about presence.

As a companion to his installation Threshold, the walk extends Quek’s exploration of dissolving boundaries: between listener and environment, sound and silence, self and other. Each step becomes a practice of attunement, an invitation to notice the flux and resonance that ripple just beneath the surface of daily life.

 

In a world often overwhelmed by noise and velocity, A Sonic Walk offers a rehearsal for other ways of being and gentler futures that are imagined through attention.
