Brutal, visceral, mathematical: welcome back Ryoji Ikeda!

Few artists can take particle physics and maths as a medium; even fewer can do so while attracting a crowd often as big on dance music as they are fine art. However, Ryoji Ikeda is a rare soul indeed, and we’re very excited about his current show at London’s Brewer Street Car Park in Soho. The work of the artist-composer is brutal, visceral and awe-inspiring; and thus nigh-on impossible to convey with mere text and jpegs. His huge-scale inspirations draw on raw data to creative vast, immersive AV pieces, and for his current show said data is drawn from a residency at particle physics research institute CERN.

The piece, entitled Supersymmetry, is housed in a pitch dark space and uses tiny ball bearings that move across bright white light boxes. Their little movements are then translated into data projected across two huge screens, forming a complex and immersive piece from sound, text, data, maths and utter disorientation.

Ryoji Ikeda, Supersymmetry, runs until 31 May.
