Christine Chen

Christine Chen, originally from China, worked at an art museum before deciding to pursue the master's course The Sound of Innovation in Enschede. Being a music enthusiast her whole life, Christine has always had a natural interest in sound. This interest was reignited by the sound art works she encountered and curated during her time at the museum, which inspired her to apply for the Sound of Innovation master's course. “And I wondered: will my peculiar, unique voice find it’s place in Enschede, in a project-driven programme that embraced a wide range of musical possibilities?”

True to her hopes, she indeed found her place in the course, particularly through her involvement in various exploratory sound activities with her classmates. Christine (who also goes by her artist name Fractal): “Working with so many different people has been inspiring. Last year, I went on a sound walk with another student through different cities, carrying the sound installation we had designed and made together. This year, two classmates and I convinced the largest tenant of the Melkhal, a former dairy factory in Enschede from the pre-industrial era, to let us build a three-story sound installation inside the building. It was designed to seem like the audience was having a conversation with the architecture itself. We were very proud of how it turned out!” This installation, called Melkhal Pulse, was unveiled on 19 February 2023 and was a collaboration between Christine and first-year Sound of Innovation students Lena Chen and Matteo Traverso.
