EXHIBITIONS

Ryoji Ikeda: data-cosm [n°1]

Commissioned by 180 Studios, Ryoji Ikeda‘s new site-specific audio-visual installation data-cosm [n°1] is a unique immersive experience charting the full spectrum of data on nature – from the microscopic scale of particle physics to the macroscopic of astrophysics, as was previously evident in the artist’s data-verse project.

data-cosm [n°1] functions as a giant microscope, a scientific apparatus, a clinical device, a monitoring system, and a window to an infinitely vast space. Visitors are invited to lie down on the floor and look up at the large LED screen set on the ceiling above them, their bodies surrounded by Ikeda‘s soundscapes – a total sensory experience.
