Ryoji Ikeda is one of the founders of the interdisciplinary Japanese group, Dump Type. His work has developed between sound creation and video using an acute computer research. In data.tron, each pixel in the image is calculated using a precise algorithmic plan. The work reproduces and invites us to contemplate the world as a "vast sea of data", in the words of the artist. The sound texture is produced using infinite superimposed layers of computer-generated sound. Frequencies at the limit of the human ear, taken in a tense beating tempo, absorb the spectators in a flow of sound and light.
