Ryoji Ikeda



Ryoji Ikeda' work is mesmerizing. From his site:

Japan’s leading electronic composer and visual artist Ryoji Ikeda focuses on the essential characteristics of sound itself and that of visuals as light by means of both mathematical precision and mathematical aesthetics. 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.

I love this guy's work. It's like looking into a world you can't really see - giving you that peek into a vast, infinite world that exists all around us. I'm also impressed with his use of scale and lighting allowing for a communal or very personal experience. Beautiful.

You can check out more of his work on his site HERE.
