“Datamatics showed Ikeda at the height of his artistic powers, building on his own unmistakable artistic language”

Overview

datamatics showed Ikeda at the height of his artistic powers, building on his own unmistakable artistic language. The Wire on Ryoji Ikeda, 2006 datamatics is the latest audiovisual concert in Ikedas datamatics series‚ an art project that explores the potential to perceive the invisible multisubstance 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.
