Ryoji Ikeda presents the European premiere of his installation data.tron [3 SXGA+ version]. The work premiered internationally as part of Ikeda's solo show at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo in April last year.
A vast field of white light, which occasionally resembles the ‘white noise’ of a detuned television, confronts the visitor. Each single pixel of the visual image is strictly calculated by mathematical principle. Scientists and mathematicians use the same banks of data to create predictive models which describe possible futures. Ikeda translates this data into an intense and striking immersive experience.
