'to me, the purest beauty is the world of mathematics. its perfect assemblage of numbers, magnitudes and forms persist, independent of us. the aesthetic experience of the sublime in mathematics is awe-inspiring. it is similar to the experience we have when we confront the vast magnitude of the universe, which always leaves us open-mouthed… this project explores the transfinite (the infinite that is quantitative and ordered) intersection that lies between such polarizations - the beautiful and the sublime; music and mathematics; performance and installation; composer and visual artist: black and white; 0s and 1s' -ryoji ikeda

Ryoji Ikeda

Ryoji Ikeda commence une carrière de DJ en 1990 et ouvre progressivement sa pratique à l’art sonore. Il se situe dans un domaine minimal électroacoustique, aux couleurs post-techno et IDM (Intelligent Dance Music). Il intègre très vite le collectif multimédia japonais Dumb Type, au sein duquel il intervient principalement en tant que musicien et crée le label CCI Recordings pour la distribution des enregistrements. Ses récentes installations qui empruntent entre autres à la logique mathématique (Spectra, V not equal to N) font cependant écho aux explorations annoncées par la fameuse exposition Les Immatériaux (Centre Beaubourg, J.-F. Lyotard, T. Chaput, 1985).
