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. www.ryojiikeda.com Ryoji Ikeda’s latest work: www.supersymmetry.ycam.jp/en The lecture is open and is free to the public and you are very welcome to bring guests and friends. Please RSVP to Collide.events@cern.ch so we can reserve a seat for you at what promises to be an extraordinary evening about arts and science. Thank you.
