Ryoji Ikeda focuses on the essential characteristics of sound and that of visuals as light by means of mathematical precision and mathematical aesthetics
Ryoji Ikeda (b. 1966) lives and works in Paris, France and Kyoto, Japan. Ikeda has gained a reputation as one of the few international artists working convincingly across both visual and sonic media. He elaborately orchestrates sound, visuals, materials, physical phenomena and mathematical notions into immersive live performances and installations.
Alongside of pure musical activity, Ikeda has been working on long-term projects through live performances, installations, books and CD’s such as ‘datamatics’ (2006-), ‘test pattern’ (2008-), ‘spectra’ (2001-), ‘cyclo.’ a collaborative project with Carsten Nicolai, ‘superposition’ (2012-), ‘supersymmetry’ (2014-) and ‘micro | macro’ (2015-).
Ryoji Ikeda recieved the 2014 Collide Award, Arts at CERN’s international residency programme in collaboration with Ars Electronica (2012-2015).
