data is used to model basketball players
plan bus routes
track internet behaviors
and now finally
make music and art......
Ryoji Ikeda is a japanese minimalist computer/digital artist
he creates a wide variety of art from photos
to music
to complete sensory instillations.....
his newest work
Datamatics
is the bastard child of John Zorn
Autechre
The Residents
and the movie PI
(with a little Soundtrack to Imaginary Videogames sprinkled on top)
(sort of like M.S.G.).....
he combines sculpture
with clicks
new media works
with pulses
sounds ranging from low earthquake rumbles
to dogs going crazy highs
visuals that surf from hard drive errors
to software code.....
his new show is both a concert
and a film
with data as the material
the theme
and the name....
this is the second step in the Datamatics series
in it he uses data that permeates this 3-D world
in order to calculate the 4th dimension.....
