The Hong Kong-born and based Samson Young is currently drowning the world in sound with his politically-charged performances and installations (and will represent Hong Kong at the 2017 Venice Biennale).
For his first New York show in 2015, he watched six hours of compiled footage of US bombs dropping in the Middle East on mute, and then recreated the sounds of the carnage on a custom-made setup of instruments and non-instruments, like a can of compressed air, or a shaving razor. Last year, he was also added to the roster of Galerie Gisela Capitain in Cologne.
In 2016 alone, the artist is having a number of solo shows (besides his performance with sonic police weapon at Art Basel), like in Hong Kong or Kolkata, and in December, the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf will host his first European solo exhibition. Young will also represent Hong Kong at the 2017 Venice Biennale, so there’s no sign that his world takeover is stopping anytime soon.
2. Cevdet Erek
Cevdet Erek studied architecture and is a founding member of an experimental outfit called Nekropsi, but his art world forays are where he truly thrives. In 2012, he won the Nam June Paik award for Shore Scene Soundtrack, an interactive, ongoing project where viewers are invited to recreate the sound of the ocean by rubbing their hands on a piece of carpet. This year, he installed a site-specific intervention at the Syndey Biennal, and he will represent Turkey at next year’s Venice Biennale.

3. Carsten Nicolai
Interested in the intersection of art, music, and science, the Berlin and Chemnitz-based Carsten Nicolai has been altering audiovisual perception since the late 1980s. A co-founder of Raster-Noton, the music label for “sound and not sound,” Nicolai recently brought an installation to the Halle am Berghain.

But the artist is no stranger to more traditional art galleries: in 2016, he showed Reflektor Distortion at Galerie Eigen+Art Berlin. A basin of water reflecting a row of neon white lights was hit with low sound frequencies, altering the reflection and making sound visible.
3. Christine Sun Kim
Deaf since birth, Christine Sun Kim explores her unique subjective experiences with sound in her work. MoMA PS1 included her piece Game of Skill 2.0 in its recent “Greater New York” exhibition, an interactive piece where viewers were invited to touch a staff-like device attached to a velcro strip hung above their heads. As they walked, dragging the device along the strip, a radio played sound at levels and speeds depending on the direction and speed of the participant.
