For this new commission Yasunao was asked to consider and examine theories concerning organisation of information storage and archives, and develop a performative/sound based response. Using 8 channels of audio, four screens of video projection, and a book of Chinese calligraphy selected from the library - reference number 495,63, which forms the title of the work - Yasunao will sit within the space transcribing calligraphic characters from the book on a graphics tablet into a network of computers, transforming original sound files into something totally different and filling the space with highly abstract electronic tones.
