Ryoji Ikeda - datamatics [ver.2.0]
datamatics [ver.2.0] explores the potential to perceive the invisible data that infiltrates our world. By using this data as the source for sound and visuals, Ryoji Ikeda provides us with both an abstract and mimetic representation of our spatio-temporal reality. The technical dynamics of the piece, such as its extremely fast frame rates and variable bit depths, continue to challenge and explore the thresholds of our perceptions.
Since 1995, Ikeda has been active in the international art scene, presenting concerts, installations, and recordings, integrating sound, acoustics and sublime imagery. In 2001, he was awarded the Ars Electronica Golden Nica prize for his work in the field of digital music.
