Ryoji Ikeda’s superposition

Japan’s leading electronic composer and visual artist Ryoji Ikeda focuses on the essential characteristics of sound and 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. In superposition, atomic particles meet big data in a visual exploration of quantum mechanics. All of the components on stage will be in a state of superposition, with sound, visuals, physical phenomena, mathematical concepts, human behavior, and randomness orchestrated and de-orchestrated simultaneously in a single stage work.
