Eric Wong is a Berlin-based musician and sound artist, studied psychology at the University of Minnesota, and audio production and engineering at the Institute of Production and Recording.

Wong is both a guitarist and electronic musician. As a guitarist, he performs as a soloist and in groups including free improvising trio BISTRE and guitar ensemble Panomorph. As an electronic musician, he focuses on utilizing smartphones and Bluetooth speakers for his compositions and performances. He composed ten pieces for multiple smartphones in 2021 and 2022, with the series titled “multiple portables”. He has also been performing with multiple pocket sized Bluetooth speakers in the past few years to create spatialized sonic experiences for the audience that the PA system cannot provide.

Born in Tokyo 1971, studied musicology at the Kunitachi College of Music, graduating in 1996. During this period he began to play the electronic pieces by John Cage and his own sound performances. Since then he has been creating sound performances, installations and videos.

\ \ He regularly performs throughout Europe at venues like Golden Pudel, ZKM, The White Hotel, FUSE Art Space and Volksbühne to name but a few. After the release of his untitled debut album on the legendary Mille Plateaux label in 2020, followed his sophomore album ‘Demonstrations‘ on Quanta Records. More recently, the collaborative works ‘Symposium Musicum‘ and ‘we may be on the way‘ (Bold/Cowling) came out on Slovakian imprint mappa and Glenn Dancer Records. Among those radio stations airing his music are BBC Radio 3, NTS, Deutschlandfunk, Radio 1 Czech, LYL Radio and Cashmere Radio. \ \ Understanding today’s culture within a platform-embedded context, has led to a number of works for which Bold coined the term ‘website-specific‘. Here, online platforms’ functions, visual and textual aspects become an inherent part of the artwork itself. This approach was first presented at his 2022 solo show entitled ‘SoundCloud Gazing: website-specific music‘ at /rosa, Berlin (Zentrum für Netzkunst, Panke Gallery). His current website-specific project ‘Audio Library of a Viewable World‘, a series of interactive YouTube videos, was recently exhibited at Millennium Film Workshop in New York City. Other digital and installation works, often in collaboration with Andy Cowling and Daniel Vier, were shown in international group exhibitions at The New Art Fest Lisbon, SYNNIKA Frankfurt, Galerie Obrist Essen, Ars Electronica Linz, The Wrong Biennale, Spazju Kreattiv Malta and Foundry Dubai. In 2024, his video works toured internationally as part of the ‘Open Secret’ group screenings.\ \ Born and raised near Hamburg (Germany), John-Robin Bold now lives in Manchester (UK).
