This new piece is both a concert and a film that uses data as its material and theme, highlighting the ways in which data shapes our understanding of the world.
Video images of landscapes are progressively abstracted into a language of data. Facts, figures and diagrams are used in a montage with dazzling graphic impact.
The text excerpts elegantly punctuate the on-screen projections. Blurring the lines between nature, science and philosophy, the work subtly and hypnotically suggests the convergence of the real and the virtual.
The soundtrack synchronises perfectly with the graphical and video images to create a piece of undeniable power and beauty.
In this highly atmospheric work, Ikeda strives for an aesthetic of pure data.
Derived from the natural world, from global systems such as economics and from research mathematics, data forms a new material for the artist's explorations.
C  I, in its meticulous composition and technical sophistication, reveals sublime views of reality.
