Decode: Digital Design Sensations
Design Museum
Holon, Israel
Ryoji Ikeda's data.scan forms part of Decode: Digital Design Sensations, an exhibition that showcases the latest developments in digital and interactive design, from small screen based graphics to large-scale installations.
data.scan is an attempt to materialise the vast quantities of data surrounding us in our everyday lives. It is part of Ikeda’s ongoing datamatics series, a collection of works that investigate the minutiae and infinite qualities of data. The installation is composed of computational code, with data collected from two investigative studies, one mapping the stars, the other mapping the human body. They present an extreme illustration of information, mixing the comprehensible with a scale that defies comprehension.
The exhibition is curated by Louise Shannon, Deputy Head of Contemporary Programmes, V&A and Shane Walter, Director of digital arts organisation onedotzero.
