Erika Tan The dictionary definition of 'pidgin', is a Chinese corruption of the English term 'business', used to describe a colloquial language made up of elements of two or more other languages.
This multimedia installation by Erika Tan combines sound, texts, images and icons from a number of places around the world. 'Pidgin' offsets the apparently homogenising tendencies of an increasingly globalised economy with a vision of cultural interaction, forged out of difference and local inflection. 'Pidgin' becomes a metaphor for exploring the slippage, invention, creative adaptation, flexibility and fluidity of communication exchanges, technological development and the artist's creative process.
