Performance for a matrix of 64 gas balloons, lights, and sound
A room is filled with deep, evolving noises from a four-channel sound system. An eight-by-eight array of white, self-illuminated spheres floats in space like the atoms of a complex molecule.
Through variable positioning and illumination of each atom, a dynamic display sculpture comes into being, composed of physical objects, patterns of light, and synchronous rhythmic and textural sonic events. Change, sound, and movement converge into a larger form.

datamatics [ver.2.0] is the latest audiovisual concert in Ryoji Ikeda’s datamatics series‚ an art project that explores the potential to perceive the invisible multi—substance of data that permeates our world.
Using pure data as a source for sound and visuals, datamatics combines abstract and mimetic presentations of matter, time and space in a powerful and breathtakingly accomplished work. The technical dynamics of the piece, such as its extremely fast frame rates and variable bit depths, continue to challenge and explore the thresholds of our perceptions.

SONGDO - Audiovisual performance by AntiVJ, August 2009
New Songdo city, South Korea.
“The importance of technology, the coexistence of the ancient and the new and the presence of the sea as both a calming and menacing elements seem to be the fundamental ideas to the creation and development of this model-city. The city of Songdo is a challenge to human’s ability to plan a large scale construction work and, most of all, it will reflect on how urban society can be organized for people to interconnect, network and live with each other in such controlled and optimized environment. AntiVJ’s artists produced an audiovisual piece exploring these ideas.”
AntiVJ is a visual label initiated by European-based artists whose work is focused on the use of projected light and its influence on our perception.

The Tagtool is an open source performative visual instrument used on stage and on the street. It serves as a VJ tool, a creative video game, or an intuitive way of creating animation. The system is operated collaboratively by an artist drawing the pictures and an animator adding movement to the artwork with a gamepad. The design achieves virtually unlimited artistic complexity with a simple set of controls, which can be mastered even by children. The project website, www.tagtool.org, is the place to find out what people do with their Tagtools, and how to build your own.
