RYOJI IKEDA : THE TRANSFINITE 

The real beauty of Ikeda’s work lies in its ability to provoke some of the deepest thoughts you’ve had on the nature of sound and, even, reality. I still remember sitting in my friend’s college dorm on an early psilocybin-fueled journey, listening to Ikeda’s 2001 release, Matrix; the disc consisted of one long sine wave whose properties were such that, in an enclosed room, the sound would change depending on your ears’ relation to the speakers. Climbing on top of furniture and seeking new aural vantage points, all involved were dramatically moving their heads and bodies in an attempt to modulate the tone and thus control it, a truly novel moment in my progression of understanding/having my mind blown about sound. That is the essence of Ryoji Ikeda: he throws everything you knew about reality out the window and thrusts open those rusted doors of perception.

This must be what feels like to be in a photo copier

Thank you for the seizure warning.

I love how people explore art installations, each one experiencing it differently. Also each picture of the same installation is never the same making each snapshot a different artwork. This is a bit tiring for the eyes but still there is a great, interesting relationship between pattern, light and shadow of the visitors! Very interesting video!

Saw this live at the MAAT in Lisbon a few weeks ago, it was a mind blowing experience.

There's something relaxing about this piece

i saw one of his show in florence in 2011 . wonderful.

Video and music are really great!

Ryoji Ikeda's biostates that his work exploits the'causality of sound with human perception'.It's a claim that makes sense when experiencing his music (especially in an installation or performance setting, where the bulk of his work has been for the past few years); Ikeda's minimalist, rigorous electronica seriously plays with the listener's head.

Be came aware of this brilliant artist after I saw bits of his London Light Show on a video Love is Murder by Al Ross on u tube . Now Im checking all his marvelous stuff.

Extraordinary. MONA in Hobart has a new installation by Ryoji Ikeda inspired by CERN in Geneva.

This is amazing. Love that the camera makes it feel more like an illusion.

What a fantastic artist he is. Just found him now. The Video Love is Murder by Al Ross and the Planets led me here as its got great sky light thanks boys!

Neat to think you are hearing binary communication. Energy is matter. Astounding video.

What a beautiful and mind-blowing piece.

Human creativity at its finest!!!!

amazing.

I legit cried, this is absolutely beautiful, very evocative and visceral. Those bass-tones just hit me like a ton of bricks.

This is incredibly calming and meditative. One feels incredibly safe through the scenery in the noise and in the scenic isolation from the outside world. It crackles down on you like a waterfall. This can be compared well with standing under the shower, where you are also completely separated from the outside world by the water that forms a protective wall around you. Only that this installation is a celebration for my aesthetic senses. Das ist unfassbar Beruhigend und Meditativ. Man fühlt sich durch die Kulisse im Geräusch und in der szenenhaften Abschottung zur Außenwelt unheimlich geborgen. Es prasselt wie ein Wasserfall auf einen herab. Das ist gut mit dem stehen unter der Dusche zu vergleichen, wo man ebenfalls durch das Wasser, dass einen Schutzwall um einen herum bildet, komplett von der Außenwelt getrennt. Nur das diese Installation ein Fest für meine ästhetischen Sinne ist.

Thanks for posting.Looking forward to event at Selfridges next week.

Another reason why I love NYC. You never get bored there.

Too cool. When can this come to Dallas!?

This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen

He and Ryuchi Sakamoto are living legend of electronic music.One guy created most of modern techno/electro genres, and another one just make from it some metaphysical shit😎🤤

7:44 nice with the police sirens in the background

Awesome

If you didn't have epilepsy before watching this...you do now.

I would love to experience this!

I wish I could experience this first-hand.

I had the same association! Love them both!

thank you for sharing this.

This video got us to see how is going our urban life, the sounds and the lights we are exposed to, amazing video that inspires us to work with

Great!!!

Beautiful and true

great job capturing this.

I love Ryoji Ikeda

The music Pretty good but visuals is just a headache generator.

Yeah, this happened to my projector last month. Luckily I paid for the extended warranty, so it's all fixed now.

Is this why you aren't supposed to stick forks in wall outlets?

nice, man

Gorgeous!!

Incrivel !!! Imagina o que deve ser estar nesse espaço. Quero aqui no Brasil.

Presente futuro... Excepcional!

”…spectacular, trippy and fun…the transfinite is definitely something to see and experience. Sublime spectacle.” -The New York Times “Rocks the senses…the Drill Hall…has lately become a playground for artists with outsized imaginations.” -Financial Times “...a physical manifestation of information in its rawest form.” -Time Out NY ”…an extreme and elaborate visual and sonic environment.” -New York Magazine

PLEASE come to London

Gorgeous

I love this in the same way Ash loved Xenomorphs: "The perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility. I admire its purity. A survivor... unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality."

what would you study to become this sort of artist? so cool.

This is the greatest thing I've ever seen.

love to see a random person or two laying down...they must be "floored" with such sensory overload

I wonder what the light bill looks like

A quand la rencontre de ryoji ikeda et aphex twin ?

this video would've been really awesome, if the camera was in a fixed position, but it's still great though

Cutting edge

love it!!

Or How can I make this type of production it’s insane

Camino del Sol

Wow!

Test for epilepsy. But great!

なんだろー前衛芸術?!！音楽?!！よくわからないけど…す、スゴい!！

All I could ever want

Final Fantasy VI rumble/explosion sample at around 0:26?

Future of supermarkets

I'm on a course doing this kind of stuff called 'Interaction Moving Image'

>Learn how to render graphics from audio eq visualizations/wavetables >write a program >buy some projectors done

How did you create this production

Welcome to my mind at 3am

sweet autechre music video

Fantastic! I hope it has an epilepsy warning though!

Settle sown, it's just art.

MAN I WISH I COULD BE THERE

i wish i was there

目がちかちかする

I would love to get to experience this in real life! O.o A-ma-zing! :D

Any Idea what was the track used for this installation??? i'd like to know :D it's soo mesmerizing to say the least,

Holy shit this is amazing

Would luv to see it in the real someday, fav study music

that's how shop assistants feel after a day of bleeps and bloops ahah

Yo DJ Ryo, I got 6 1/4 seizures.

This would be a epileptic's worse nightmare.

When I realized that person was wearing a black and white striped shirt 😂

THIS GOT TO BE OUTTA SPACE ALIENS MUSIC ......SUPERCOOL

i want to go to there

how can i do this?

I want to go to there.

even im just 14 but I can say this is amazing

an epileptics nightmare

tripod!!!!!

ryoji ikeda

just great!

i want to be there. no, scratch that. i want to live inside this... thing. this transcendental artefact. the vastness of time

This is cool for epileptic ppl.

Did anyone watching this video actually experience this installation in New York?? I would love you to get in touch if you did, i am writing about this work for my studies and would love to ask a question or two about said experience. Reply here or via private message :) Thanks

media arts or something like that.. I'm studying Musiques Numériques at UDM (in montreal) and we do things like that yes. And I don't believe in what "monokelJohn" said. to be a great artist, you have to know art. School is a great way to learn/know things even if it's not the only one.

Better at 1,5 speed

amanitannins for yr pineal gland.

boss

Fuck me, this is absolutely great, it gave me the chills.

Now imagine some laser play... Ouuu this just makes me want to go clubbing...

wonder-full. 10x.
