Ryoji Ikeda
Wed 31 Jul 2013
Japanese artist Ryoji Ikeda’s breathtakingly immersive art project is an experience like no other in sight, sound and scale. datamatics [ver 2.0] uses pure data as its source, transforming sequences from hard drives and software code into dramatic rotating 3D views, opening up spectacular and seemingly infinite vistas. Accompanied by a hypnotic soundtrack, Ikeda challenges the thresholds of our perception. Ikeda has performed internationally to critical acclaim at Centre Pompidou Paris and Metz, Crossing the Line Festival New York, Venice's Palazzo Grassi, London's Barbican, The Esplanade in Singapore and Barcelona's Grec and Sonar Festivals.
