Ryoji Ikeda is a Japanese sound artist who often works with low frequency
sounds and noise, attempting to challenge the definition of sound. He tries to present
sound in its pure and raw state and according to him, “a high frequency sound
is used that the listener becomes aware of only upon its disappearance" in
which I find the quote very interesting. What is it that we hear and how are we
experiencing sound.

| Test Pattern is a system that converts any type of data (text, sounds, photos and movies) into barcode patterns and binary patterns of 0s and 1s. Through its application, the project aims to examine the relationship between critical points of device performance and the threshold of human perception. |
Ikeda works in
various forms such as installation, live performance, publication, concert, and
recording. Some of his works involve large scale and interactive component. One
of his projects from last year, Test Pattern [100 m version], features a
giant indoor space with sound installation and light projection creating a new
landscape in which the audience becomes active participant and part of the
artwork. It is using technology to challenge traditional viewing experience; instead
f silently looking at an artwork on the wall, Ikeda is doing something opposite
by adding sounds and making the artwork all around the space. Ikeda has engaged
the audience in this new audiovisual viewing experience and the result is quite
powerful.
