Ming Poon’s visit

Ming’s performances were more focused on the audience and although he does not guide the audience to feel a certain way, the reactions and feelings of the audience is an important part of the artwork. This is different from all the other artists who visited us because, although they were also more focused on the process of creating that art than the final result, they didn’t seem to include a certain message or feeling that they were trying to convey with their work. When I asked Merche if she wanted to make the audience feel a certain way while she was improvising, she said that she wasn’t consciously making decisions on the next sound to play, but was more in a flow state, and the artists before said something similar during their performances. This makes me curious if Ming becomes more creative in a similar state of mind or if he is always actively making decisions, since his performances are based a lot on the audience’s response and their interactions, which isn’t the same as interacting with an unusual instrument for example.
