“datamatics showed Ikeda at the height of his powers, building on his own unique and unmistakable artistic language.” – The Wire, 2006
datamatics [ver.2.0] is the second audiovisual concert in Ikeda’s datamatics series‚ an art project that explores the potential to perceive the invisible multi–substance of data that permeates our world.
Using pure data as a source for sound and visuals, datamatics combines abstract and mimetic presentations of matter, time and space in a powerful and breathtakingly accomplished work.
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.
In November, as part of the Festival d'Automne, Ikeda returns to the Pompidou Centre to perform datamatics [ver.2.0], following its acclaimed world premiere there in October last year.
In December, Ikeda will perform datamatics [ver.2.0] at PAF 2008, as part of the 'Live Animation' section of the festival.
