Conference Room Rave: Images From Sound

2026.03.28 Saturday 14:00

Location

Grey Cube, Goethe-Institut China

Guest: PJ/DJ TRUCK

If musical rhythm is the energy that sets bodies in motion, then a party poster is a portal carved into the club's concrete walls. Beyond being a mere preview, it serves as a visual glimpse. In that fleeting glance, passers-by foresee a moment inside the club—tense, strobe-filled, and intimate.

 

This session of "Conference Room Rave" is both an improvised dance and a sharing salon. We have specially invited PJ, one-half of the creative duo MENSLIES, to share how graphic design and club culture intertwine from his dual perspective as a designer and party organizer. Here, music travels from the ears to the eyes, where even the subtlest sonic waves are captured and transformed into imagery. No longer a static surface of paper, the graphic becomes a medium for tremors, where images surge forth from the sound.
