我會壞掉
2010
30 x 240 cm
電子裝置、日光燈
我會壞掉 壞掉前 我的聲音很美妙
我正以每秒16.6次開關的頻率 歌唱 我也以每秒16.6次開關的頻率 壞掉
然後 完全壞掉 可以被丟掉
《我會壞掉》是一場日光燈的進行式喪禮，開始死亡的時間就是開幕當天。
（文／姚仲涵）
日光燈使用過度就會壞掉、就會耗損。在完全闇黑的空間裡，電流經由程式的設定而不斷送出訊號，造成視覺上的爆裂感受，仔細聽，細碎的聲響是電流經由作品上方的麥克風放大後的聲音；姚仲涵一直對身體感知的對比狀態深深着迷，就像他所言“視覺是如此的激烈，而聲音是如此的細小而美好。”
藝術家本身對場所的不確定性異常敏感，剛到一個城市，他習慣打開飯店的窗戶，站在窗邊，好像在確認，自己到底來到怎麼樣的一個地方；一段很棒的聲音的感動，就像公寓裡的一扇窗，窗外的風景並非人為設計過的場景，突然出現的聲音也並不是要為了向任何人展示而存在，所以突然聽到很棒的聲音反而會被驚豔、會被感動。
《我會壞掉》也像是窗外的風景，雖然程式是事先設計的，但是不同的人靠近、甚至距離的遠近都會影響作品所呈現的狀態，“作品有人在空間裡才叫完整”，藝術家這麼說。（文／吳庭嫻）

I Will be Broken
2010
30X240 cm
Electronic devices, florescent light
I will be gone out of order, but before that, my voice is beautiful.
With a 16.6/second switching frequency, I sing and with the same 16.6/second switching frequency, I break down.
After I am completely broken, I can be discarded.
(Text by Yao Chung-han)
Fluorescent light has a limited life span. It wears out. Inside a pitch dark space, a string of sparks is continuously triggered by programmed electric currents. The concurrent, minute cracking sounds are amplified by a microphone placed at the upper part of the work. Perceptual contrasts fascinate the artist. In his words, “the visual part is so intense, while the sound is almost imperceptible and yet beautiful.”
Being sensitive to the uncertainties of place, whenever he arrives in a new city, Yao Chung-han would open the hotel’s windows, standing awhile to figure out what kind of place it is. A sudden spurt of sound can become enchanting to him, as if a scene unexpectedly unfolds outside of one’s own apartment. Likewise, an instantaneous sound can appear purposelessly, and thus capture one in amazement.
“I Will be Broken” is such a scene occurring outside of one’s window. Even though it is program-controlled, the approaching of different visitors, with different distances, at random affects the work. For the artist, the visitor is integral to the space of the work.
