有時候，我會用整個身體走路來進行錄音。與其靜止地、安靜地坐在聆聽的位置，不如邊走邊聽，讓身體的聲音也進入錄音裡，甚至以某種方式被放大。錄音的結果可能是一個聲音檔案、一幅線條素描、一系列照片、一段文字，或只是我對路徑的記憶。
Sometimes I walk to make recordings with my whole body. Rather than stay still and quiet in a listening position, walking-listening allows the sounds of my body into the recording, even amplifying them somehow. The recording might be a sound file, a line drawing, a series of photographs, a text, or only my memory of the route.
1. 摩擦套裝
1. Friction Suit
一套剪裁合身、質地微粗（如羊毛或燈芯絨）的外套和褲子，行走時會產生摩擦聲。小型感測器將步行摩擦轉換成電力，為一台小型錄音裝置（配備雙耳錄音與接觸式麥克風）提供短暫脈衝的錄音能量。帽子則使用薄且柔軟的太陽能板製作，為錄音器提供額外的電力。這樣的實地錄音，聽起來就像是用手搖式緊急收音機充電時所聽到的短暫聲響。
A tapered jacket and pants of slightly coarse material (like wool or corduroy) so that friction is produced while walking. Small sensors convert the friction of my pacing to electricity so a small recording device with binaural and contact microphones receives enough power to record in short pulses. The suit is accompanied by a hat made from a thin, flexible solar panel to provide additional charge to the recorder. The effect of the field recording is like hearing short bursts of sound when powering up a hand-crank emergency radio.
2. 相機連身服
2. Camera Jumpsuit
一套輕盈的亞麻連身服，剪裁稍微寬鬆。胸口、背部以及臀部兩側各縫有針孔相機，可同時從四個方向拍攝影像，並依照身體比例，從兩個不同的高度記錄。快門線連接到右膝處的槓桿，行走時，隨著膝蓋上下移動，控制相機曝光。無論步伐穩定還是緩慢誇張，拍攝的節奏都跟隨著步伐律動。相機的數量和位置可以自由變化。
A lightweight linen jumpsuit with a slightly loose fit. Pinhole cameras are sewn into the chest, back, and sides of each hip so that images can be made in four directions at once, from two different heights according to body proportions. A shutter-release cable is connected to a lever in the knee of the right leg so that the exposure of the photographs follows my walking as one leg goes down then up again, however steady or slowly exaggerated the pace. The number and position of cameras in this jumpsuit is variable.
3. 地震儀腰帶
3. Seismograph Belt
一件輕便的運動衫和一條舒適的牛仔褲，適合長距離行走。腰間佩戴一個支架，從皮帶向前延伸，形成兩根90度角的橫桿，各安裝一卷收銀紙捲，剛好在雙手可及的位置。邊走邊用兩支墨水筆抵住紙面，隨著步行，紙卷繞到第二根橫桿上，記錄下身體穿越不同地形時的地震波形。這成為一種線性的實地錄音，而紙捲的長度則決定了行走的距離。
A light sweatshirt and comfortable jeans for a long-distance walk. Around the waist, a brace extends forward from a belt with two bars angled at 90 degrees. This holds two rolls of receipt paper, each at arm’s length. While walking and holding two ink pens against the paper, the receipt rolls wrap onto a second bar while recording the seismogram of my body in transit over different kinds of terrain. This makes a linear field recording. The length of the paper receipt roll determines the distance of the walk.
