How many points are there in a line? What is the number of numbers? How can we verify that the random is random?
data.tron is part of the datamatics project, a series of experiments that explore such questions both physically and mathematically. Visitors will experience the vast universe of data in the infinite between 0 and 1.
data.tron is an audiovisual installation in which each single pixel of visual image is strictly calculated by mathematical principle, composed of a combination of pure mathematics and the vast sea of data present in the world. These images are projected onto a large screen, heightening and intensifying the visitor’s perception and total immersion in the work.

Biography:
Ryoji Ikeda was born in 1966 in Gifu, Japan. He lives and works in Paris, France and Kyoto, Japan.
Japan’s leading electronic composer and visual artist Ryoji Ikeda focuses on the essential characteristics of sound itself and that of visuals as light by means of both mathematical precision and mathematical aesthetics. Ikeda has gained a reputation as one of the few international artists working convincingly across both visual and sonic media. He elaborately orchestrates sound, visuals, materials, physical phenomena and mathematical notions into immersive live performances and installations.
