Works
+/− [the infinite between 0 and 1] presents some works developed from datamatics, Ikeda's series of "experiments that explore the vast universe of data in the infinite between 0 and 1", as well as from his dialogue with Harvard mathematician Benedict Gross. It also develops a prime number / a natural number, Ikeda's large-scale photographic work for Le Laboratoire, which explored the idea of infinity.
Other works include data.matrix [n°1-10], a multi screen installation featuring video sequences from datamatics [ver.2.0], Ikeda's audiovisual concert; and matrix [5ch version], a pure sound installation formed by a grid of speakers through which visitors walk.
Similar to Ikeda's spectra [paris], which also featured a grid, visitors' movements interfere and disrupt the carefully composed soundscapes.
In addition, MOT presents data.tron [3 SXGA+ version], a larger version of an earlier floor-to-ceiling screen of data which seeks to physically overwhelm visitors with a staggering array of 0s and 1s. Ikeda's established work data.film [n°1-a] will also be showing, — a mesmerising very narrow 10m long lightbox of data codes and patterns.
